Title: Scenarios for the whole project
Post by: Martin Terreni on January 05, 2008, 06:47:37 am: Hi
I just want to know if I'm missing something.
I have just began working with scenarios (I know, I'm a very bad boy ::) ). My thought was that I could create a scenario and then I could link to it different objects by going to the scenarios tab and choosing the already created scenarios. However - it seems that whatever scenario I enter in this tab is private for the object.
I find it hard to think about many scenarios which will include a single element, so it would sound logical that if I have a "scenarios" tab, I can choose the same scenario for several elements participating in it.

Am I missing something here?

The problem is, that you cannot view relationship matrix (with note links) or hierarchy related to the note... But at least you can see relationships within diagram.
Anyway - I'm afraid this is not the best solution for your issue. :(

Make an attribute for every scenario you have and link the scenario (I use it for GUI-action mapping; I do not have it on diagrams, but in docs it looks nice).
