Title: History of diagram
Post by: topcatarg on September 15, 2009, 12:23:48 pm

Hi all. I was searching the document and others related info, but I couldn't find a place to add history to diagrams. Is there a way to add it to every diagram or package??

Thanks

What do you mean by "history of a diagram"?
There is a button to add a legend to a diagram, and a button to add the diagram properties, but other then that...

I'd use diagram notes.

If using version control you can enter check in notes - but this does not sound sufficiently visible for you.

Thanks for your answers. NeilS was rigth, we are looking for a way to have a change log for each diagram. Not just the check in notes. In our printed Use Case we have that in the first page of the document for a quick review.

Here we use a sort of xml structure in our notes.
One of the possible tags of those notes is the changed history.
On such a change tag looks like:

Code: [Select]

<changed workitem="12345" user="Geert Bellekens" date="15/09/2009" status="changed">Description of what is changed</changed>This has the advantage that these tags are interpretable by an addin or something.
