Notes Preview on Project Browser / Traceability Vi
« on: June 01, 2012, 05:01:15 am »
Like the Notes Preview on the Model Search, quite useful on our project. I'd sure like to have the same capability on the Project Browser and Traceability View. Is there a way to do this now?
Current Version: 9.2

Project Browser definitely not. Traceability most likely not (not sure).

Option 1:
Dock the "Notes" window on your EA user interface. Each click in the Project Browser will show the element related notes in the "Notes" window

Option 2:
Right click on a Package in the Project Browser and select "Package Browser" option. This will show a "big Project Browser" in the center of the screen where you can activate the Notes preview. And in the latest releases of EA, this window is dockable where you want.

@Luis: Thanks. Good suggestions.

However, I'm really more interested in seeing the notes preview in the traceability view. If I have an item selected in the project browser or the search results it would be nice to see the notes preview in the traceability iew which I have docked in order pick off the traced entity I am interested in by simply scrolling through the traces.
Alternatively, if I have traceability and notes docked it would be nice to see notes reflect the value associated with the entity I highlight in the traceability view (as happens when scrolling through the Porject Borwser and Search Results)
