show all link types in relationship matrix?
« on: May 04, 2016, 05:33:37 pm »
Is it possible to show all link types in the relationship matrix?
I have some bpmn diagrams, with DataInputAssociation towards the datastores for inputs and DataOutputAssociation towards the datastores for outputs.
I would like to use the relationship matrix to check if all datastores are somewhere used as input and somewhere as output. But if I try it, I can only select DataInputAssociation OR DataOutputAssociation. I would like to see both, together on the relationship matrix.

Thanks for you advice !

Hi Lien,

I don't think you can do that in the Relationship Matrix, but for that kind of checks I usually use the Model search using an SQL query.
Using macros's such as #Branch# you can limit the results to a specific part of the model.

Hi Geert,

Thanks for your answer, will check it out.
I still believe it would be a nice feature though, because sometimes i don't really know which type of relationship was used, just showing any type of relationship between the *source* and *target* would be very helpful.
