Model Profile View
« on: February 06, 2013, 08:21:38 am »
Is it possible to mark packages with a tag that can then be programatically found to generate a HTML report?

We have a big model, and several projects that work in various sections of the model.

We want to generate daily HTML reports for each sub-model, and noticed that you can make packages non-reportable.

If not, would be generating baselines be a better solution?

There are all kinds of ways to do something like that.
I would probably use a tagged value.

Hi,

You need to look at Model Documents. You can create a Model Document to output to html. A model document can use a "Model Search" (again check out the help) to pull back specific packages to be included in your html. As Geert suggests you may want to add a tagged value to the document, which can then be queried in your model search - you may find that simply setting the package status and querying this will help.

Regards,

Jon.

Thanks. I will look into those suggestions.

EDIT: Just from looking at the help file, it doesn't seem like you can use tagged values or model searches.

The content of the report is defined as either:

· A list of packages (defined as attributes) dragged onto the element in whatever order or combination is most appropriate to your requirements; you can easily add or delete packages as necessary
 
or

· (Not for HTML reports) a standard model search (identified by Tagged Values) created within the Model Search facility; note that diagram searches are not supported - when you generate the document, this search captures the required data throughout the model and populates the document
