Suggestions and Requests / Stereotype icons in search and search folders

Follow up from: https://sparxsystems.com/forums/smf/index.php/topic,47015.0.html

Icons in lists and grids make a good visual distinction between different stereotypes. We use search folders to organize Archimate elements according archimate layers and aspects (Archi style). Most archimate elements are of type class, so there is no visual distinction between different stereotypes of archimate elements within a search folder. It would be really helpful if the icons shown in the repository browser could also be used in search and search folders.

Request: make it possible to use stereotype icons in search and search folders.

General Board / Icons in search results

« on: June 30, 2022, 07:15:33 pm »

Hello sparx EA forummers! I've used these forums as a knowledge source for some time, but now i've stumbled upon a question to which i cannot find an answer here or in the documentation and decided to create an account and start a thread myself.

Documentation stated that in a SQL search one can set the icon in the result grid using CLASSTYPE. Example of a query in which I used this:

Code: [Select]

SELECT o.Object_Type AS CLASSTYPE
,o.ea_guid AS CLASSGUID
,o.Name AS Object
,o.Object_Type AS [Type]
,o.Stereotype
,o.Author
,o.Scope
,o.Status
,o.Phase
,o.CreatedDate
,o.ModifiedDate

FROM t_object o

WHERE o.Stereotype IN(
'Archimate_Stakeholder',
'Archimate_Driver',
'Archimate_Assesment',
'Archimate_Value',
'Archimate_Meaning',
'Archimate_Goal',
'Archimate_Outcome',
'Archimate_Princpiple',
'Archimate_Requirement',
'Archimate_Constrains',
'Archimate_Resource',
'Archimate_Capability',
'Archimate_Valuestream',
'Archimate_CourseOfAction'
)

ORDER BY o.Stereotype
,o.name

My problem is that in the repository browser window these elements all have different icons (probably set per stereotype?), but the Object_Type of most of these elements is 'Class'. My search result (obviously) returns the list with the Class icon for each record. Is there any way I can display the Stereotype icon in my search result? And more specifically also in a Model View Search Folder?
