Question: open Relationship Matrix by a link ?

[JohnDoe]

Hello,

in my diagram, I want to put a link which opens the relationship matrix on demand. Is this possible ?

Hi Bernd,

I don't think so.   The problem is compounded by the fact that EA seems to treat the Relationship Matrix as a Singleton - the relationship matrix not a relationship matrix.   (I stand to be corrected on this)

It seems to me that to be of any real use in the kind of way you are suggesting (with which I agree), you need to be able to reference more than one RM in the repository.  It would be good to have the relationship matrix as another type of "diagram" with the properties the specific profile you are wanting to display in that instance.

HTH,
Paolo

In the sparxsystem 10 minute demo (in the middle of it), there is a visual link opening a relationship matrix. Is this a fake ??



This is the sparx demo:

No, it's not a fake.

The documentation on how to create the link is at http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?hyperlinks.htm

If you don't know how to create a matrix profile to link to then have a look at http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?profiles.htm

Hi Simon,

I stand erected!  However, is it still the case that you can only have ONE matrix profile open at a time?  Or does this mechanism allow more than one (so you could compare and contrast)?

Only one is allowed.
