Title: RTF Generation Formatting...
Post by: jmcdonnell on August 14, 2012, 11:40:30 pm

Hi all,

I'm having some serious trouble in getting EA to do what I want it to!

When generating .rtf documentation I want my document to format in the following manner:

[highlight]Title blurb

BPMN data flow diagram 1

Associated requirements

BPMN data flow diagram 2

Associated requirements

etc...[/highlight]

I get as far as the first diagram then ALL requirements drop in then nothing else...

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!




Joe

Have a look at eaDocX. Much simpler

No problem to do that in EA.

You want a template like the following.

Title Blurb
[highlight]package >[/highlight]
{Pkg.Name}
[highlight]diagram >[/highlight]
{Diagram.DiagramImg}
[highlight]element >[/highlight]
{Element.Name}
[highlight]< element
< diagram
< package[/highlight]

Put anything you need in the element and diagram sections.

I suspect it want be quite as simple as indicated. I'm guessing you have a BPMN diagram and that you have either added embeded Requirements to each Activity (using the Rules->Requirements sheet in the Activity property sheet) or formed a relationship (should be a Realisation) between your Activities and a Requirement object.

If the first is the case you will need to add the

Package -> Element -> Requirement

the second, add

Package -> Element -> External Requirement

to your template.
