Ho w can I change the display of Information Items conveyed?
« on: October 27, 2016, 07:33:43 pm »
I am trying to Change the Display of the Information items conveyed at the Information flow connector. I want to present them as a list rather than a ',' between each of them. any help ?

Hello,

as far as I know there is no easy solution. The feature is provided by SPARX as it is.

You may use the name, tinker with the Label. Those solutions only leads to more issues.

Is the comma so disturbing?

Hi Helmut,
The idea that I have a big number of items conveyed and it is hard to read when you just present them seperated by comma. I wanted to list them at different lines. I tried to use script shape but I cannt find which varaible is related to the items conveyed.

The information must be available in the shapescript, I just don't know exactly what it is.
Have you asked Sparx support yet?

PS. A workaround could be to use an add-in to get the info and call that from the shapescript, but you'll need to be careful about the performance in that case.

Hi Imad,

I now understand your point.

Personally I would try to limit the amount of conveyed items. You may use one or some aggregations / records and maintain them in a seperete diagram and/or visualise them in a Model View.

Kind regards,
