Relationship Matrix
« on: April 14, 2016, 10:36:25 pm »
I've set up associations between attributes in different Classes via 'Link to Element Feature'.
In the relationship matrix it shows the corresponding association but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the attributes to display in the matrix as well.

The idea is that I have fields in a report that are associated with fields in systems, tables, other classes hat have you. I want to be able to do impact analysis...if a given system field changes, what are all the corresponding output reports fields that are affected.

If  the relationship matrix isn't the right tool, what is?

Thanks,
Aldrich

Hi Aldrich,

I'm not sure if it is possible with Relationship Matrix. Usually an Attribute makes no sense without the owning class. 

I would use SQL Queries. To put the results into reports use Template Fragments aka sub Templates.
