Documentation with multiple level Child elements
« on: June 26, 2015, 02:03:39 am »
I am using EA 12 and trying to use the templates to display elements that are multiple levels deep.  I have some child elements that are 4 levels below the package and can't seem to find a way to have them picked up in the documentation.  Any suggestions?  I see the package, element and child element but I need to go two levels below that.

You can if you use Virtual documents and model documents.

What you basically do is create a model document and in it's tagged values define a template, a search, and a search value. Make sure that the search returns exactly the elements you need.

As an alternative you could also create a script or SQL fragment and get the values you need through the SQL or script.

For both ways of working there are excellent learning center topics (Alt-F1)
