RTF template display options
« on: August 01, 2006, 12:51:08 pm »
 When formatting RTF templates with the generator, is it possible to specify certain elements. An example would be wanting to print a list of elements that have not been tested (ie: ElemTest.Status=Not Run) or printing only use case types, but not actor types (ie: Element.Type=use case && Element.Type!=actor)??

Hopefully you can see what I'm getting at.  I can't seem to find the answer to this. Hope you can help !!

Thanks.

Sparx Support comes through with an answer

The RTF template itself does offer filtering:
- in the Editor: File | Document Options
 => this allows for excluding details for specific Element types - Actors etc.  As well as by element status etc.

In terms of limiting packages you can look at the Virtual Document option for defining a specific set of Packages as root nodes to be printed.  See EA's help - search on Virtual Documents.

If I understand clerly, what you want is to have conditions on the inclusion of elements in your RTF.

The alternatives are:
- Filter on properties of the element: in the generator or the RTF editor, as you mentioned, specify the status, package phase or a date for creation/modification.  

- Filter on the type of element (requirement, change, etc..): also in the generator or the rtf editor "exclude details for..."

- Create a diagram and open the properties of that diagram in order to include the elements of that diagram (even if they are not in the package you are generating from).   Then you are almost completely free.

You already found the 2 first items.  I suggest you try the 3rd one, generate these diagrams with the template you need and integrate all these in a master document.

Actually a 4rth option is to run a search with "Search List" = extended and specify the conditions on it, then print the RTF result

I also interested in specifying conditions in rtf template.

E.g. if the element is available, I want to display some element properties, but if element is not available, I'd like to print some static text. Or, I need to include in the report some of tagged values, but not all of them. Is it possible?
