Title: Maintenance item descriptions not shown in Notes window
Post by: Uffe on April 10, 2018, 08:41:16 pm

Hi all,


According to the user guide (http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/13.5/project_management/maintenancesupport.html), the Description field of a Maintenance Item should be shown but not editable in the Notes window.

I don't see anything in the notes window, whether I select the element that has an associated maintenance item in the project browser or a diagram, or even if I select the maintenance item itself in the element browser.

Is there a configuration I'm missing?

Cheers,


/Uffe

IIRC there's an own dockable window for maintenance. I never used that...

Yeah, but that's not it. That window (Changes in this case; there's actually a different identical-looking window for each maintenance type) is the one the linked user guide page is for, which says that the description (from the Changes window) shows up in the Notes window.

Which it doesn't.

Aha! Got it!

For "Notes Window", read "Summary View".

The Summary View shows some basic info from whatever you've selected in wherever you've selected it.
So if you select something in the project browser, Summary View shows object type, name, notes and some other stuff depending on the object type.
If you select something in a maintenance window, Summary View shows maintenance type, name, version, status, requested by, completed by, description and history.
