Team Development within EA

[Klisba]

Hello everyone

I am part of a Development team that has to define UseCases concertedly. Therefore we send E-Mails with the actual Version.
We don’t want to use a version control system and it isn’t absolutely necessary because only one person should work on the Project File at every time.
But of course we want to see the changes that were made since the last version. Additionally information about the cause of each change would be very helpful.
EA affords the possibility to define “Model Authors”. On the other hand there is the “Report View” which shows, which element of the selected (in the project view) part of the project was modified the last time.
Questions:
Is it possible in EA to see who did what kind of change (even delete - operations) to the diagrams? And is there any functionality to automatically log all made changes to a e.g. UseCase? What are the “Model Authors” for?

Thanks in advance!!!!!!

P.S.: I have searched for hours in the web as well as in the EA-Help and don’t get the hang of my problem.

EA does not have that functionality (has been asked here a few days ago). You need to setup database triggers in order to trace these changes. Another (simple) solution would be to use a versioning system like subversion

EA does have support for baselines, which may also help your situation.

PS: Logging/Auditing is in the development pipeline.
