Bugs and Issues / Re: Issue with EXPORT HTML and new browsers version (edge, chrome, firefox 68+)

« on: April 15, 2022, 02:14:14 am »

Modern browsers do not allow opening the HTML generated in EA 15.2 or earlier. In EA 16.x the HTML generator and templates have been upgraded to overcome that.

Just for interest, do we know how this was achieved in EA 16.x ?

General Board / Re: Version 16 release date estimation?

« on: January 27, 2022, 03:09:01 am »

Since Sparx seems to be very unwilling to respond to e-mails about this, I'll try here: does anyone have an estimation/expectation on the release date of version 16.0? It's the release that contains a lot I've been waiting for a few years, so I'm 'mildly' interested in upgrading...

I don't disagree with qwerty, but if you want some sort of estimate you could look back over the posts in "Latest news" to see the elapsed time between the first build of a beta and when it gets finally gets released.  From what I can see version 16 is taking longer than most.

Would be good to get those things addressed before v16 leaves beta - have you formally raised your points?  In fact is there a way to provide beta feedback formally?

My LastPass doesnt recognise it either. A consistent annoyance...

Yes it really is a constant consistent annoyance.

I just tried it.  Doesn't look possible to me, but I agree it would be good to be able to do that.

V16 is due soon.  But something tells me none of us hold out much hope that this will be fixed.  If anything other workflow will have been "improved" to heighten everyone's frustration.

General Board / Re: v15.2 - How to order items on Gantt view?

« on: September 28, 2021, 05:43:10 am »

Not really found the roadmap nor gantt view in Sparx EA as useful as they should be. Could definitely do with improving. Maybe V16.0 might improve things?

However when trialing Prolaborate I noticed they have a feature to do roadmap Gantt charts and its much more like what I'd expect for gantt chart - Hallelujah!

That probably means that the core functions in the EA client are deprecated and won't be changed/improved.

I just hit this issue for the first time on a CSV export with 15.1
I'm assuming it's still outstanding in 15.2

Hello,

I ended up creating a new feature in eaUtils addin. More information is available here: http://www.eautils.com/en/compare-diagrams.
I'm interested in any feedback

As far as I can tell it works well and is useful.

Have you looked here:
https://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/webinar/webinar-series.html

There are a number of videos/recorded webinars on version 14 there amongst other things

Also Sparx has demos here
https://www.sparxsystems.com/resources/demos/index.html

Although a few of these are quite old.

General Board / Charting and Tagged Values

« on: August 23, 2021, 09:50:48 pm »

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

I've been playing around with the charting capabilities - heat maps, pie charts etc..  -  but it seems that the reporting out of the box is limited to the core element attributes.  In other words using tags and their values is not supported unless you drop in to your own SQL queries?  Is that right?
