Single description of many elements
« on: April 25, 2013, 04:01:49 am »
Hello,

This is my first post on the forum  :) and I need your help.

The requirement is to have one place for a description of many elements. If I need to change the description of these elements I do it only once. In generated RTF document, this description should appear for these elements.
If it is possible, how can I do it?

Thanks

Not sure about the RTF, but generally you would create either a Note or a Document Artifact containing the common description. This Note/Element must then be linked to the other elements.

Hi Piotr,

I think there are a lot of solutions to reuse something. Some proposals:
  • Use the file property to link to a specification (file or URL)
  • Make a dependency to an element / artefact with the information you need
  • Use eaDocX
  • ..

Best regards,
