Title: Diagram report - only include diagrams with an element with a specific tag
Post by: antonlindb on February 12, 2016, 01:57:02 am

Dear Sparx-friends,

Thank you all for the help I've gottem from the forum over the years.

My problem that I need to solve is that the process cataloge we have is based on products. Now we want to make a Diagram Report with all the processes that involves the customer and these are in many different packages. My first thought is to tag all process-elements that involves the customer and make a Diagram Report based on this. Tried to exclude with filters, but it didnt work.

Could you guys help me?

Looking forward to contribute more on the scripting questions.

Best regards
Anton

Hi Anton,


Not without a lot more information, I'm afraid.

There are several different ways of constructing document templates, and everything depends on how the relationships between your processes, products and customers are represented in your models. Tags? Connectors? Instances? Presence in diagrams?

Unless you explain your metamodel in some detail, any help you get is likely to be limited to general advice.

Hi Anton,

I can't help you with your specific problem, but I did write an article about the approach I use when developing document templates:
Tutorial: Generate complex documents from Enterprise Architect with a two-step semi-automated approach (http://bellekens.com/2015/11/12/tutorial-generate-complex-documents-from-enterprise-architect-with-a-two-step-semi-automated-approach/)
I hope it can serve as inspiration.

I will try to elaborate:

In my Level 4-processes I have diagrams with elements, which some have customer interaction, and then the elements have a tagged value, Customer = Y.

I want to generate a report/documentation with all diagrams that has at least one element with the tagged value Custmer = Y.

Need more information to be able to help me?

Best
Anton
