Title: Where to Store Narratives in EA
Post by: mhs on June 08, 2006, 08:03:38 am

 Hello,

This is my first to these forums.  I've been using EA for about a month now.  Its been an interesting experience, and I am encouraged by some of the work I have been able to produce.

Right now, I am documenting a new tool for a program.  I have created and written some requirements for it, and I have moved now to the use cases.  I have about 4 use cases for this tool, and I made a nice little Use Case Diagram.

Until I started using EA, I had tended to write my use case narratives as plain text files.  This works well, and I have them checked into version control.

Part of the potential I see in EA is that I can create requirements, use cases, and assorted diagrams.  EA can take these things and generate HTML or RTF.  The RTF can be zipped up and sent to a user, and everybody is happy.  

I would like to be able to generate an RTF with a Mission Statement, Requirements, and Use Case Narratives.  Any advice on how to get to this point?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Have you figured out what you are trying to accomplish? If not, you could create a document template. From your resources tab, right-click Templates > RTF Style Templates and select Create RTF Style Template. You can copy an existing template to give you a head start, although if you are new to this, there is a big learning curve.

Does that help?
