Showing values of tagged values in a view

[Arnoud_B]

Is there a standard capability in SparxEA to show the values of tagged values in a view. The only way I know to retrieve there values I know of is to go to properties and select tags there however in a diagram this information is not visible (so also not visible in WebEA).
I was thinking on writing a script to create a note on the diagram with the names and values of the tags to make them visible in the diagram. This is certainly possible (not even that hard) but it will mean that when you update the tagged value you have to run the script again.
I have noticed that I create scripts sometimes for things that are out of the box SparxEA but i lack concise documentation (or time to read all) of all buttons and features in SparxEA, so till now I did not find such a feature but maybe somebody can enlighten me before i start writing another script.

Yes, there is an option under the diagram properties (RMB on diagram). Under the tab [Elements] you can turn on (or off) the compartment visibility of (for example) tags or inherited tags.

If you want to do it for a single element you can just (RMB the element) and go to [Compartment visibility] (or use Shift + Ctrl + Y)

You can do that per diagram (as mentioned above) or per element via the Compartment Visibility context.

Thanks I found the checkbox but nothing seems to change. Can it be that this is not supported by Archimate Elements?

[qwerty]

Definitely. Most Archimate elements are rendered using a shape script. And that often ignores some settings (or just can't access them; or the profile is fixed in what it may render).

Ok thanks, so I did not write my script for nothing

Well, you learned something. Though not what you intended. But something...
