RTF Template show Aggregation?

[wstidolph]

I have requirements in three relationships, but I can't figure out how to get the RTF generator to show all three:
a) a Req can <<depends>> on another
b) one Req can aggregate others (level of detail management)
c) a Requirement can Realize/Implement another (for tracing between requirement sources and derived, such as tracing from a system final requirement back to the business or proposal requirements)

The RTF generator seems to work fine for case (c) (one Requirement in the requirements package is the Element, and then External Requirements chase back along the Realizes link), so I have a table of "driving requirements" in each Requirement element listed. But, I can't get a table of "Composed of <name1>,<name2>,..." or "part of" for (b),  or simple "See also <name1>, <name2>, ..." for (a)

(In case it matters, my customer wants text/table reports for integrating with their existing processes)

This seems essential to documenting the model - am I missing something simple?

Run the Basic Template from your Requirement package, this could be what you are looking for.

Thanks - using the Connector section in the template is a start, but it lists out *all* the Connectors, and they're jumbled up  - what I want is to have, for example, just the aggregations-to-part, or the aggregation-to-whole, or just the Realizations, etc. for these reports, to get them into separate tables.

For example, I need to make a report that follows the Aggregation and Realization for the requirements traceability, but *not* be cluttered with my dependencies and such (I have these other associations between Requirements to show "influenced by the same customer concern")

It seems like this is paramterizing the template, so I suspect I'll need to use a search-driven fragment or something ... I was hoping the template was somehow matched to the UI so that if I used the Quick Linker to create a particular connector type, then I could filter/follow on that type.

Hi wstidolph,
 I think you're already an eaDocX user, so this should be really simple for you. Just define which connector types you want to follow, and create tables (eaDocX "Relationship Tables") of the elements at the far end of the link types. eaDocX will help by restricting the link types & target elements types, to just the ones which are in your model, so there needs to be at least one example of each connector type/Target element type that you want to print.

You do have the option in the RTFtemplate (or the document generation dialog) to filter out all other connectors but the one you want to document.

To do that: Right click on the RTF template, select 'File..' -> 'Document options'. In the exclude connector type field, you can enable only your connectors.

Don't know if this is exactly what you want, but hope it is!
