Cannot view Notes on composite activities in HTML
« on: July 02, 2014, 12:43:54 am »
Hi,

A BPMN process is delivered as an HTML report to be accessed via a browser (EA isn't required).
Some of the activities are documented using the Notes ; for composite activities/subprocess that link to a composite diagram, users aren't able to open the notes since a click on this kind of activity will open the linked diagram.
I haven't identified any workaround to open notes or linked documents on a new HTML page.
Any idea? Does it require a feature enhancement in EA? (e.g. add links to open the Linked Document, add links to open the Note)

thanks
Guillaume

The only way to view properties of an element with a composite diagram in the HTML report is to select it in the tree.

Hi Simon,

I managed to get it to work by creating an Element typed hyperlink that select my activity -> in the HTML site, it opens up the notes/linked doc content.

Thanks
Guillaume
