QuickLink and MDG

[Paolo F Cantoni]

I'm trying to add some Quick Linker specifics into my MDG technology(which currently consists of just some additional toolboxes).

I saw the Quick Linker example in the Help and added the elements indicated into the technology (where I've defined the toolboxes).

Nothing seems to happen after I export the MDG Technology file.  I suspect I'm NOT following the EA rules, but can't really see where...

Is it possible to customise an MDG Technology to add QuickLink definitions?
Is Quick Linker orthogonal to MDG?  (My suspicion is Yes  )
The Example Help page doesn't say exactly how you get the Quick Linker into your EA application.  Does anyone know?
The example said to copy and paste into the artifact... Does that mean into the Notes (where I put the CSV text) or somewhere else?

TIA,
Paolo

The quick link definition is located in a document artifact in your profile hierarchy.
So to add quicklinker definitions you have to create a documetn artifact and put the CSV definitions in there. I suggest to create the CSV in a spreadsheet to ease your life and then copy/paste it in the document.
Afterwards save the diagram in a UML profile and create the MDG technology file. Make sure to have the profile included in the technology.

Afterwards deploy the MDG technology.
You can btw check whether the quicklinker definition is included in the technology file. Just open the technology xml file and search for the definitions. They are 1:1 included.

Thanks Oliver - the problem appears to have been that I had accidentally dragged an Artifact   rather than a Document onto the diagram (hence my quesiston about the "Notes").  Once I'd created a proper Document it worked a treat.

Thanks again, [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

(hence my quesiston about the "Notes").

That statement about "Notes" immediately pushed me on the right track :8

Glad it works now.
