View total project status

[m.slingerland]

Hello,

I have a large project with several packages, use-cases, requirement models etc. Is the a way to display all objects based on their status?

e.g. all use-cases and requirements with status "mandatoty".

Kind regards,


Matthijs

No chance to verify that, but try the search enhanced. Probably a well formed SQL can do the job,

This won't do exactly what you're asking for, but it might help. On the Tools | Options | Objects dialog check Show status colors on diagrams.

It works for requirements and a few other things. , but not for classes, etc. (pity...)

[Thanks for the correction, Simon.]

Actually, it works for anything, just not all are turned on by default.

Look at http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?statustypes.htm.

But it's not so obvious for classes as they have only the shadow to tell the difference while requirements have a large bar.

Thomas is right, I definitely think this is possible using the advanced search, and may be even without writing any SQL.  

Try Edit/Find in Project... and click the advanced button.  When the panel comes up choose the "Requirements" default search from the search list - I know this isn't what you want but you can change this default search to look at the elemnts you want

Click "Edit filter" then untick the "Objectype" item so that it won't just look for requirements - alternatively you can edit this - click on the "..."  and choose the element types that you want to search.

"Status seems to be missing from the search, so click "Add" and tick the "include" and "required" columns on the row "Status" for it to be included in the search/filter.  Type "Mandatory" in the search term field and run the search - this might give you what you want.
