Using nested virtual documents
« on: May 23, 2013, 09:13:10 pm »
I'm trying to create a rtf report based on a master document with nested model documents.

I have created the following structure:

<<master document>> Report1
  (diagram) Report1
  1: <<model document>> Chapter 1
  2: <<model document>> Chapter 2
  2.1:  <<model document>> Chapter 2.1
  2.2:  <<model document>> Chapter 2.2


When I generate the report only the first level is reported, i.e Chapter 1 & 2, not Chapter 2.1 & Chapter 2.2.

Must all model documents be on the same level? Or how do I tell it to go down a level. Using child package in the Template does kinda the same thing, but then it ignores the templates I have set to each level.

The Master Document and Model Document relationship is a simple linear relationship of the Package and the list of elements in that package (it does support nesting these). The ordering of the report is defined by the ordering of the Elements in the Project Browser.

Thank you for the reply. Nice to hear nesting is possible, but how do I tell the report-tool to go through all levels?

When I use several levels, as mentioned above (e.g. 2.1, 2.1.1), where each model document is pointed to a package in the model,  these are ignored by the report generator.

It only uses the top level model documents. What am I doing wrong?

Apologies, being linear  that sumary should have read "(does NOT support nesting)".
