MDG technology - Profile - Quick Links

[Shridhar]

Hi,

I have created a profile where quick links are customized for specifc diagram elements. These quick links are appearing in all the diagrams, i tried using column E (Diagram Filter) to avoid the elements in some diagrams but it is not working. e.g I have two customized diagrams UseCase and ContextView and for a specifc element i have mentioned "UseCase;!ContextView;" in column E but that element is still coming in both the diagrams.

Any comments on this? I am not sure whether it is a issue with tool or my representation is wrong.

Regards,
Shridhar

You can either provide a list of diagram types you want the quicklinks to appear on or a list of diagram types you don't (either a white list or a black list). You seem to be attempting a mixture of both.

Also, "ContextView" is not one of EA's built-in diagram types, so it's presumably one of your own. You will need to prefix it with the name of your diagram profile separated by "::".

So, if you want the quicklinks to appear on use case diagrams only, set the value to "UseCase;". If you want the quicklinks to appear on all diagram types except ContextView, set the value to "!DiagramProfileName::ContextView;".

If none of this makes sense, please send your quicklink definitions and technology file to Sparx support and someone there will help you get it working.
