Title: Filtering in virtual documents should be fixed
Post by: marcelloh on December 28, 2009, 05:39:50 pm
If I have the folowing structure
package A
-- packache AA
---- My Use case (a use case)
---- BPM diagrams AA (also a package) [alias=SKIP]
------ My BPM diagram (a real diagram) [alias=SKIP]

Im my report I only want package names and their notes, and use cases and their notes.
I use a filter : alias <> "SKIP"
Almost everything I don't want on my report, is filter out, but...
packages are not filtered!

Recursive reporting is nice somethimes, and somethimes it's really in my way. I have to handcode every element I want to skip on this particular report.  :-/

I tried to add a language "UC" into EA, and then filter on stuff just having a language "UC" , and do it with an element filter, but here also the packages are still there.
(And strangely enough, also some of my other elements...)

Filtering on keyword works as for skipping certain elements, but the packages are still there  :'(

Then I thought of "Custom Properties" and perhaps to filter on them, but... no custom props at package level and on some other elements.
(I think, everything is an element, as being a child of model  :P)

I tried it with tagged Values, but also all packages are included.  :'(
(This must be, while they're only allowed on elements...CRAP!)
