how to add a filter in RTF report template
« on: May 12, 2008, 12:41:32 pm »
How to add a filter in RTF report templater?
For example, I want to get the report about "Relationship Matrix", however, what I want is only report about {Connector.Type} - "Realisation" rather than other, say {Connector.Type} - "Generalization", etc?
How to achieve that? thx in advance.

The RTF reports allow filtering down to Element level - not by sub-element such as Connectors.  
If it is just realizations - then in the RTF report generator use
Element::External Requirements.
Also look at: Project | Documentation | Implementation detals and Dependancy reports.
You can do some filtering using the Search facility SQL Query and then report on this directly using print or using an RTF Virtual Document with a Filter set using the Tagged Value filter option.

It's really too bad that we can't filter out connector types. For example, I've 'linked' an Activity with several Table objects. I'd very much like to produce (as part of my overall report) a tabular list of all the Tables used by the Activity.

I can't do this in an RTF. I'm limited to the Matrix. Si, if we can select the link types in the Matrix it seems strange that this same type of selection criterion is not available in the RTF template or an extension to the RTF such as {ConnectorName}.{Linktype='link'} or something like that.

Thanks for reading.
