Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Inserting report constants into a linked document

« on: February 16, 2024, 06:11:51 pm »

Hi All

How does one insert/paste report constants into a linked document? The only way I have managed to paste a report constant such as  {ReportName} is to copy it from a custom template and then paste it into a linked document.

Is there perhaps a better way to do this?

Kind Regards

General Board / How to disable EA "internal Viewer"

« on: December 19, 2023, 12:48:59 am »

Good day

Is there a way to disable opening Microsoft Word documentation using EA's "internal viewer"?

I would like to force EA to use Microsoft Word when opening Word documents instead of using its internal viewer?

Is there a way to do this?

I have hyperlinks in EA to .docx files that EA opens using its internal word viewer which I do not want.

Thanks

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Reporting on inherited tagged values

« on: October 11, 2023, 12:12:04 am »

Hi All

I currently have an element, for example "element A", with multiple tagged values. In my report generator, I am currently using the "valueOf" variable to select which tag value I want to report on. That works fine.

Now I want a new element to inherit all the tags of "element A" and also have the functionality to select which tagged value I want to generate in a document. The "InheritTagVal" under the elements section does not have the "valueOf" variable. The "InheritTagVal" only has the "Name, Notes, and Value" fields.

Can anyone please assist?

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: docGenerator & Diagram captions with document section number prefixing the Figur

Hi Geert

Would a custom SQL query work or should I look into custom Jscripts/VBscripts?

What command/property would one use to retrieve the current heading number when a document is being generated?

Regards

Hi BruceTOGAF2

This is exactly what I am trying to do.

Did you manage to get this to work?
