General Board / Show List of Elements in Child Packages in Table

« on: July 25, 2007, 10:47:50 am »

Hi there,

I am trying to create a Use Case template where I am yet again finding difficulties manipulating the RTF editor to replicate a word document already produced.

A specific issue I am having is trying to show a list of actors with elements within the actors (which are contained in 2 different child packages) in a table.  

Unfortunately, I am not well versed in the RTF editors functionality with what occurs under the various sections (child packages, child elements and so on), and am learning on a trial and error basis (very time consuming).

If anyone could please assist with how to produce what I believe are 'Elements(Actors)' in a 'Child Package' to show all of the 'Elements(Actors)' with their properties within one table, I would greatly appreciate it.

I've tried the help section, whitepapers, and various searches through the forum, but haven't had much luck.

Thank you for any information you can provide me with!

General Board / Re: Import Error: Root Import Package already exis

Not sure if yours is the same situation as me, but I too had a similar problem where I tried exporting packages from two different files and then importing them both into another file.

The first import worked fine, but afterwards the second import would erase the data from the first import.

A solution to this was when I checked off the 'Strip GUIDs' checkbox and everything appeared as desired.

Hope this helps.

General Board / Re: Unique text for child packages

Hey all just wanted to let you all know I figured out my foolish problem. It was a trivial error due to my lack of experience in EA. Simply had to document the notes in the properties and then under package add notes in the RTF Template Generator. I was mistakenly adding the wrong field, then placement was wrong and then I just got really confused. Thanks for all of your help though; greatly appreciated!

Hey guys thanks for all of your input... I've tried using the notes field to display the descriptions of the packages, however, nothing is appearing on the RTF document. I've tried using the notes under the properties of the packages as well as well as in the package through: 'Create Element or Connector | Common Elements | Note.' Yet nothing appears in the RTF... is this what you were referring to when you said use the notes field? Or am I completely off-base. Thanks

umm well basically I'm creating a requirements document which has multiple packages for which on the RTF document I would like to have text explaining what each package means... and so I was wondering how I could show this text on the RTF document; because each package is unique and requires its own description... I hope I was clear... Thanks

Not sure if I phrased it correctly... but I was wondering how I could put unique info for each child package I have in terms of text. Thanks.

General Board / Table of Contents

Hey, I'm fairly new to EA so I apologize if this is a basic question... but in creating a requirements template i was wondering if there was a straight forward way for creating a table of contents? Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Thanks, everyone. I think Simon hit it. It got the tag values in although there were 3 default EA tags that showed up. Good enough.

Yes, UML tagged values.

I'm trying to export the requirements package so that I can keep some of the elements and other settings that I have in the diagram view. Everything transferred perfectly when I export to XMI and then reimport it to a new project. The only thing that didn't were the UML tag values I gave to each separate requirements element.

What I mean is I have set default tag value types.

Then, once I pull in a requirement element, I can go add one or more of my default tag value types by going to add new tag value and then going to the drop down menu.

Please let me know if this still sounds unclear.

Wow. This is exactly what I need. However, there is one issue. I have set pre-defined tag values so that I can add a new requirement, go to the drop down menu, and select the tag values I have already made. After exporting to XMI and importing it back to a new project, the tag values don't transfer. Is there a way to overcome this so that my tag values are transferable?

I've tried that. That only allows me to go to that diagram by default within a project.

Anyhow, thank you very much for your help and your prompt responses!! Much appreciated!
