HTML Publishing - Remove "Advanced" tab from object body
« on: March 23, 2016, 07:34:29 pm »
I'm trying my best to strip out the "tech" tags from my HTML/CSS templates.  My audience is business stakeholders, not developers.

Any tips on how to remove the "Advanced" tab from the table that shows up in the object body section of each page?

Thanks

You're in the realm of writing your own templates.  Can you explain why you're using the HMTL report for a business stakeholder audience?

It's a quick and easy way to give them access to reference models (via static URLs).  As they get used to the repository they have the capability to click on objects for descriptions and follow links to related objects and models.

Is that an odd thing to do?

No, in my experience business stakeholders are generally after something that is more PowerPointy.

We're using Sparky as an EA repository and want to send stakeholders there as much as possible for relevant viewpoints.  Our message is that it's a living tool and always undergoing change, so they should keep checking in.

Of course, there will be the need for some PowerPoint now and then.  Can't avoid it.

Now that's out of the way ... are you gonna answer my original question?  ;D

I did answer your question in my first post.  You're in web template territory.  I've never bothered with them because they seem to be hard work.  Here's the help link http://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.1/report_generation/webtemplate.html

Same question: http://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,30350.msg221773.html#msg221773.

I guess you have to edit the javascript template file to suppress tab generation. Tell me if you found the code fragment :-)

Thanks.

I'd spotted that question.  I'm in the same boat as you - not a techie.  I've edited templates as best I can to scrub out the redundant information and even inserted code to generate feedback emails to our EA office, but I can't crack into the #OBJECT# fragments.
