HTML gen for a "speciifc path" through the model
« on: September 02, 2013, 10:20:21 pm »
My model has the following folder structure and content:-

- 'Function’ folder
   ---‘Screen Journeys’ folder
        ---‘Screen Journey 1’ folder
             This folder contains a single screen element which, through
             the single diagram, holds a relationship between that screen  
             to Back End1 (which resides in ‘Back Ends’ folder below). The
             Back End1 element on this diagram has a composite diagram
             link.
   ---‘Back End’ folder
        ---‘Back End1’ folder
             This folder contains a single element, Back End1, which is
             dropped onto a diagram.

This structure allows me to drill down (using the composite diagram link) from the screen to its back end.
If I want to create a HTML report that allows this drill down I need to generate everything in the ‘Function’ folder.

So far, so good.

My challenge comes when I have the real-world scenario of multiple screen journeys each of which may call one or more of multiple Back End elements. If I want to create a HTML report only for Screen Journey 98 then I can put the cursor on the ‘Screen Journey 98’ folder and generate HTML from there. However, the result of that, of course, is that I won’t have any Back End elements generated and I can’t drill down.
The only way I can see to do it is to generate HTML for the whole model from the ‘Function’ folder (some, or most, of which I might not want to generate if I’m publishing to an audience to whom I only want to show the Screen Journey 98 context).
Is there any way of generating HTML only for the “path” specific to Screen Journey 98????

Hi,

I beleive you can acheive what you want with the use of Model/MasterDocuments just as you can with RTF reports see http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/9.0/reporting/master_documents_and_model_doc.html.

Regards,

Jon.
