Display keyword in BPMN activity
« on: September 02, 2013, 09:32:32 am »
Hi,

I have seen examples where the keyword field on an activity is displayed at the bottom right corner of the activity.

When I enter a keyword in my diagram however it is not displayed and was wondering if there is some setting that I need to switch on to enable this text to be shown.

I have switched on all visible elements and this did not seem to make a difference.

Anyway any help would be appreciated

Hi,

I think there is not a setting in EA (I'm not sure about it).

You can write a Shape Script to visualize the keyword.

The keywords are not part of any standard display characteristics. Maybe BPMN has some way to show them via shape script. If not, you are lost. There are quite a number of threads how Sparx sees on changing their MDGs, since that is what you would have to do in order to show keywords.
