Hmm Most Enterprise company I know about have Microsoft Store locked out for self installation to Enterprise PC.
You have to configure licenskey server, databas server etc for each Enterprise.

General Board / Re: Importing or converting an architectural mode in PDF to EA. Possible?

« on: December 27, 2023, 10:16:15 am »

Soon it should be possible for some AI.
Bing AI can describe element and relations from an Archimate jpg picture. It does not understand the Element-type yet, and I was trying to get the textual in Exchange Format but did not succed.
Maybe some payed version can do it already

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Importing Excel Documents with MDG Integration Office

« on: June 09, 2023, 07:45:16 am »

When Office MDG is installed, you have an HelpLink with some useful but complicated userguides, för import/export of Excel and Word and some PowerPoint functions.
Regarding Object inside other object, (Im only using Archimate) is just matter of relation for object in browser(Parent/Child/package) and/or object relation as Association, Serving, acess etc etc.
When importing your excel you can select that a diagram is created for each package whera all object in each package are placed in lists or matrix depends on number of object. Same result as "insert related objects" in diagram.

For exampel, we have an excel with our Capability map, about 150 capabilityes (level 1-3 with descriptions)
Each layer has its own package object, and each capability have an parent object,
as Capability_6_level1 is parent for all capability_6_level2,
and Capability_6_level2 is parent for all Capability_6_level3

The diagram is manual layed out with Level3 inside parent Level2 and a separate diagram where level2 is placed inside level1
When the excel gets uppdated outside Sparx EA by Business architect, we just run an excel import with Office MDG for update av our capability maps. Those maps are html exported weekly to a internal website and are clickable on each level by all emplyees

Should be the same for both MDG Office and CSV files, the element parent & child relation, at least in the element_browser. Diagraming from mdg is more or less crap
