Remove section when generate RTF documentation
« on: December 10, 2009, 03:50:04 am »
I am generating RTF documentation from DODAF model and only want to see certain view  generated. I deleted all the empty views from model, but when I generate RTF it includes all the views include the one that I have deleted (Technical view, Strategic view).

How do I controlled the RTF output?

Thanks

At the risk of stating the obvious to control the RTF output, you edit the template that is used by EA to generate the report.

The problem is these views (Technical, Strategic, Acquisition) do not exist in my model because I have deleted them and still show up in the report. My problem was not formatting.

You may have removed them from the diagram, but not the repository.  Are they gone from the browser?  If they are still in the browser, you'll need to delete them there...

Create a Documentation Diagram

Add a Model document element to the diagram

Drag the Views / Packages from the project browser to the model document element in the order you wish them to appear in the documentation

Select the Model Document element and generate the RTF using the Element | RTF Documentation menu options

Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!
