Title: Diagram notes
Post by: oaf on April 28, 2005, 12:15:59 am

When a diagram is created it's given a note with
Name
Package
Version
Author

I could also add a diagram note which contain
Name
Author
Version
Created
Updated

Unfortunately I could not delete the first note, and I could not configure the 2nd one. I would like a configurable diagram note so that the information could be more adequate but not filled with twice as much information as needed, The Created/Updated field is very valuable in paper copies.

The Updated field seems to get updated when the diagram is opened, but during a long working session it would be nice if the updated is linked to actual work done on the diagram.

I'm also not so happy with the diagram note (btw. you can delete it via the diagram properties - 2nd col, 3rd mark). It would be NICE to have some kind of config and maybe it should be respected in sequence diagrams or when using auto layout, but definitely this is only a nice-to-have :)

Maybe a "diagram note generation template"? :-)

That sounds nice, but please combine the auto generated and the manually. I.e. either let the customer select if it's going to be generated or not, OR let the customer delete the auto generated one. And please consider the update of the changed date field, to mean when the diagram is changed and NOT WHEN IT'S LOADED...
