Filter generated RTF-Documentation

[diti]

Hi Folks!
I have problem that might be easy to solve, but I really don't have a clue how to do it:
using the standard templates it's quite easy to generate a report containing all the elements and connections. Now that's the problem: for my requirements report I like to include only a subset of all defined "Connectors".

For example:
For a specific use case I don't want to see the "include", "extend",... connections, but only the "realize" connections, so that at the end of the chapter "Use Case ABC" I have a list of all the requirements.
The interconnection to the other use cases is displayed in my use case diagrams, whereas I specify the connection to the requirements using the relationship matrix, so I don't have a diagram for that.

I imagine that maybe there might be some kind of hidden filter mechanism that I don't know of (something like "connector WHERE type like "realize" >" in the RTF tag?!).
Or maybe is there some other way to generate a list of connected elements in the report?!

Any help concerning the topic is highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance and greetings from Bavaria,
Diti

Hi Diti, and greetings from Canada,

I'm not sure about this, but perhaps the Relationship Matrix will let you filter and report based on connector type. Of course, the resulting report might not have whatever else you need...

EA 7.1 allows you to create master documents and document models which can be bound to one or more complex search criterias. EA populates the report then at generation time with all matching elements.

That way some sort of filter can be created. Not that easy as I  believe at a first glance but one can get used to it.

Hi Diti

When you make a "realizes" link, the target requirement becomes an "External Requirement" in the properties of the source object.

So, in the RTF template editor, don't use the "Connector" selection in the left-hand window, but use "External Requirements" instead.

Good luck
