General Board / Table of Contents

« on: September 14, 2011, 05:06:31 pm »

I'm trying to add a table of contents to a document template. When i insert one in design view the text "Table of Contents" is added to the page. I don't see any way of modifying the layout at all. When I generate a document based on the template I just get one line where the TOC should be that looks like ..................................................1. Can anybody give me some advice for making a TOC?

Also, I'd like to incorporate a document history list, distribution list, etc. at the start of the doc and have these in the TOC. Any htoughts on how to go about setting these up?

General Board / Template diagrams

« on: September 12, 2011, 01:34:53 pm »

I'm using EA 9.0.908
I have a project that has a top level root object, followed hierarchically by a Requirement Model package. The Requirements Model package has two child packages, Process and Reporting. What I'm trying to achieve is a document template that gives me the Diagram.Notes and Diagram.DiagramImg for the Process and Reporting packages, but I only what the Diagram.Name and Diagram.Notes for the parent  Requirements Model package. So my problem is twofold. On the one hand, as soon as I put custom information into the <child packages> section, that section no longer inherits from the parent, so the DiagramImg's no longer print, but on the other hand if I leave <child packages> empty the DiagramImg's print for every package, including the parent Requirement Model package which I do not want. What can I do to resolve this?

General Board / Undo delete

« on: September 06, 2011, 02:52:31 pm »

We've been running with EA Enterprise just a few weeks now. One of our developers put in a massive effort into some program requirements but then unfortunately deleted the parent package by mistake. We were gob-smacked to discover that this is something that cannot be undone. Was there any way we could have retrieved the package?

General Board / Requirements - colored bars

« on: September 06, 2011, 02:58:06 pm »

In the training video "Requirements Modelling" it is explained to us that the colored bars at the left of each requirement are associated with the requirement status, and can be changed just by changing the requirement status. I've scoured the application but cannot see a way to access the customisation of colors. Changing the status of any requirement has no effect on the colored bar at all. Does anyone know how to address this?
