Adding a Sub business process diagram into a report
« on: August 09, 2022, 05:17:11 am »
I am creating reports from an existing package which contains various business process diagrams. These diagrams has sub processes in them that I would like to reference in the PDF output. I see that I can output anything in a package but was wondering if it is possible to create a report that includes multiple packages. I am looking to do this because I have these sub process diagrams (common that is done over and over) in higher-level packages further up the tree in the same Model.

I could just include the whole model, but then the document will have more diagrams than necessary. Even if there is a way to cherry pick diagrams into a report, that would be sufficient.

Thanks,
Gregg

You can indeed choose multiple packages to include into a generated document by creating a model document and added them to the model document. See documentation on publishing reports for more details.
https://sparxsystems.com/resources/user-guides/16.0/publish/document-reports.pdf

Each diagram also has property dialog which has an option to exclude image from documentation.
Diagram>Document Properties>Exclude image from Documentation.
Happy to help
