Title: Redlines- suggested implementation and management
Post by: SSDoubletime on January 24, 2018, 06:46:07 am

Hello,
New to EA and would like to ask the community if there is a documented/recommended approach to adding redlines to EA projects.  For the purposes of Peer Reviews and such, is there a suggested method to generate and resolve redlines within an EA project?  Thanks!

I used to add a stereotype derived from Requirement in the domain MDG for that purpose. Can be linked to any element. Usually there's a folder where redlining is stored (like where I store the requirements) and that has diagrams/sub-packages to organize different themes.

Look at stereotype (Configure->UML Types -> Stereotypes) - If there are 2 or 3 elements without additional properties but colors or custom shapes can be applied here

But if you need additional properties(tagged values in EA) for a list of elements consider MDG.
