Full Name in Relationship Matrix
« on: December 21, 2016, 10:11:15 pm »
Hi,

is there a way to show the full name in the Relationship matrix?
In the options, I did not find a way.

What do you mean by "Full name"? The Fully qualified path?
That doesn't really seem like a very good idea to me. I even find the "packagename.elementName" taking up too much space so I usually turn off the option to show the package name.

Hello Geert,

thanks for your reply. I think we talk about the same stuff.
I think that my problem would also be solved, if I could not show the package name, but the containing element. Is this possible in the relationship matrix?

Maybe I describe what I want to achieve:
* We have high-level processes (modeled as an "Process" stereotyped activity) that contain activities.
* Activities are performed (a "perform" stereotyped dependency) by UML actors

In the relationship matrix I want to show the actor x activity / perform relationships.
Works well out of the box, but the problem is that often the activity is described in a way such that its meaning is only clear when you know the surrounding process.

Simple example: activity= store data. Process = Calibrate a device.
With the knowledge of the process, it is clear that the activity is "Store Calibration Data". 
However, in the relationship matrix you will only see "store data". Ideally, you would see "Store Calibration Data.store data".
The "Name(full)" from the document generation gives me that information (as well as some useless information, but I can live with that).

Yours,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Showing the owner element name is not an option currently, but I think it's worth a feature request.
