Create relationship matrix in RTF report
« on: November 06, 2015, 01:01:49 pm »
I would like to generate a requirements tracability matrix in my RTF report using model documents. However, the EA doco is not clear to me on how to achieve it.

In my model I have:
  • A package (Section5) that contains a matrix specification.
  • A model document that includes Section5 package
  • An RTF template (Trace) that contains "relationship matrix>" section.
  • The model document RTFTemplate property equals Trace

How do I get the contents of matrix into the report?

What I would like is a table with each row representing a requirement and columns that represent the components that trace to the requirement.

This is also a feature I want...but as far as I know it is not (yet) possible to have a table with a variable number of columns.

You can get the relationship matrix in the report, but it is outputted as an image, which is kind of useless.

As you can't dynamically change the number of columns in a table I usually make a regular table with all related elements.

This way you can still show the same info, just in another format.
