References to other elements in element notes
« on: November 21, 2009, 02:38:02 am »
Hi,

let's say, I have requirement
REQ001 - Flashing Light
and another
REQ002 - Flashing Configuration

REQ002 has the following notes:
"The device shall support configration of the flashing frequency. See REQ001".

This is just an example I made quickly. But the question is: Is it possible to replace the text "REQ001" by a link to the requirement so that I can click on it?

Because I don't want to have text that might change later on...

I searched the help for links and references and couldn't find anything.

Cheers,

Jan

I remember (was that in RR) a feature like that, but I don't think it is implemented in EA in some way.

Might make a nice change request though. (use the link on the bottom of the page)

I've seen that you can make hyperlinks to elements or diagrams, but I haven't found a way to use them inside the notes of an element.

Your Feature Request has been sent to Sparx Systems.

We will take your comments into consideration - thanks for taking the time to help us improve our product.

No FR ID to check the status? Will I be informed once it is implemented or rejected by email? Or is this it?

Just wait for the consideration. You might get an FR ID.

Sparx usually sends you some kind of ID, but don't expect any confirmation on ETC or anything.
Just watch the release notes and hope for the best :-/
