Report Elements From External Packages in generate documentation
« on: September 20, 2022, 05:44:39 pm »
Hello, I want to make a report of all elements of the diagram. I followed the site guide and activated the following checkboxes:
  • In the 'Properties' dialog for selected diagrams, the 'Add each contained element in Documentation' checkbox, to identify all the elements in those diagrams in your report, or
  • On the 'Generate Documentation' dialog, the 'Include all Diagram Elements in Report' checkbox to include all elements in each and every diagram checked by the report
But when generate the documentation, there are no External elements in the report.
external elements are Business rules, activities and data objects which are included in Business Process Diagram.

What does your template look like?

If you select package>Element> then only the elements in the package will be generated
You can select diagram>Element> for all elements on the diagram.

I have tried both methods

package >
Package Name: {Pkg(dot)Name}
diagram >
Diagram Name: {Diagram(dot)Name}
element >
{Element(dot)Name}
< element
< diagram
element >
Element Name: {Element(dot)Name}
diagram >
{Diagram(dot)Name}
< diagram
child elements >
Child: {Element(dot)Name}
< child elements
< element
< package

And you don't have any filters set in the properties?

For me this has always worked just fine.

No, no filter has been added to it
When I drag an external element and add it to the package it works fine.
