EA 14.0.1419 Exclude Package from Report missing

[Piotr_Markiewicz]

Hi
I created sub package and I wanted to exclude it from report... but I cannot find this option in context menu.
It still is presented in help
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/14.0/model_publishing/includeorexcludeapackagef.html

Any suggestion?

To access though ribbon

Design -> Package -> Edit -> Advanced -> Generated Report Options


In Context menu its not available as mentioned in help ( may be a bug ).
Even in menu -> Documentation Generate Documentation Option is  not available.

The Help for this has been corrected; until the corrected edition is released, use the ribbon access pathway provided by Arshad.

[Piotr_Markiewicz]

But Arshad confirmed that Documentation Option is not accessible throw ribbon too.
So I do not know how to exclude single package now.

[RoyC]

No, Arshad was saying that there is no Document Generation option in the Package Browser or Diagram context menus.

Through the ribbon, you can exclude any single Package from inclusion in a generated report. If you want to exclude more than one Package, apply the option to each Package.

[Piotr_Markiewicz]

RoyC, can you provide an example how to exclude single package "through the ribbon". I cannot find this.

[RoyC]

In the Project Browser, click on the Package.
Select the Design ribbon.
In the 'Package' panel of the ribbon, click on the Edit icon.
In the drop-down menu that displays, click on the 'Advanced' option.
In the sub-menu that displays, click on the 'Generated Report Options' option.
The Generated Report Options dialog displays.
Click on the 'Exclude Package from Generated Reports' radio button.
Click on the OK button

The Package you selected will be excluded from any reports generated on the hierarchy that contains that Package.

If you want to add the Package back in to the reports, go through the same process but select the 'Include Package in Generated Reports' radio button.

[RoyC]

Ah - and I have looked more closely at what Arshad was talking about, and he was actually referring to the drop-down menu on the 'Hamburger' icon in the Project Browser toolbar. This does contain a 'Document Generation' option, but (still) not an 'Exclude Package from Reports' option. So use the ribbon.

If there is no Package panel on the Design ribbon, perhaps you have a customized ribbon where the Package panel has been specifically excluded. Let us know if that seems to be the case.

Thanks RoyC
It is deep hidden in the submenu but I found this.
I'm just curious if this happend by mistake (lack of exclude in contex menu) or it was a conscious decision.

BTW. I have never seen that excluded package is someone mark in Project Browser. Nice to have such mark like for locked diagram with different icon.
