Understanding Matrix Relationship field codes
« on: November 28, 2013, 04:13:42 pm »
Could someone please explain how to use the Relationship Matrix field codes?

relationshipmatrix>
{Matrix.Direction}
<relastionshipmatrix

How do I specify the direction value?

The Field {Matrix.Direction} simply reports what is the direction-setting of the matrix that you had saved in the Resources area.

For other people trying to do the same. Take note of the following from the help. You do not specify the values for the matrix, you must use a Matrix Profile.

You do not directly specify a matrix profile; by default the report executes and captures the Relationship Matrix contents for the first profile that includes the subject package as the source or target package. If your report covers a tree of packages, the first profile that includes a source or target package in that tree is captured in the report.

Second the Image field code is the one that actually puts the diagram in the document. (It is a diagram not a native table).
