Title: Model Glossary and Model Issues
Post by: Vlad on May 27, 2005, 06:42:16 am

Hi, all!!!
I have a following suggestions:
1. Add "Find" in Model Gossary and Model Issues. It is not very comfortable to work with a large glossary (I have more than 150 records), especially if you are working in a team.
2. Add "Save glossary in a file". Of course, I can make this during HTML report generation, but this is not very comfortable. An export in RTF format files is very useful (This feature exists in Model Issues.). More over, I think that it will be a good idea if you create this report in alphabetical order.
3. Also, I think that if you add filter option (Closed, Opened, All....) on "Create RTF report" (Model Issues) it would be very useful.

Hi,

you can export the glossary to an RTF file, just click onthe button Export in the Glossary window.

Hope this helps!

Hi!
Thanks, I found this option. But reports are generated not in alphabetical order and not in a table style (so, I can't sort rtf report in RTF editor afterwards).

No problem. You are right though, this could be improved.
You could also use the XML export under Tools > Export Reference data.

Hope this helps!

Of course you I right!!!
I can generate reports as is and then edit it in other editor...
But it seems to me that it will be better if they include such featuers in EA.  :) And 'Find' option, and report filter.
