General Board / Re: Forum trouble - User Name not Screen Name

« on: December 21, 2015, 11:23:06 am »

D'Oh!

I was trying to log in with my screen name, and this wasn't working...

Logging in with my email address worked fine.

Sparx to the rescue! My username is not the same as my screen name.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Stop Diagram Filters being user specific and..

« on: August 19, 2014, 09:54:46 am »

Hmm...

I worry about the direction of this conversation.

In another system, with a shared repository (shared by all ICT personnel) I've had work corrupted, through inappropriate re-use and modification of entities...

I'm not sure that I could cope with diagrams changing display behaviour because another user is applying filters to understand some aspect of the system being developed.

I can image revert wars taking place in those circumstances.

Suggestions and Requests / Labels near the node, rather than the endpoints

« on: November 12, 2010, 03:17:20 pm »

When I am naming the flows from a decision point in a BPMN diagram, I'd like the label to appear next to the decision point, rather than at the far end of the flow...

This seems intuitive to me, i.e. Is this a valid transaction? Yes, follow this line, No, follow this line.

Having to trace a line to the end to find out what the decision was seems... ...odd.

Moving the label to the other end, created disconnected labels that don't move when you move everything else on the diagram, and can result in very strange diagrams.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Document generation: relevant glossary

« on: June 02, 2015, 11:53:32 am »

Ian is going to have to start paying me...

The glossary function in eaDocX does what you're requesting.

It finds items in your document, which have matching entries in the Project Glossary.

It highlights the glossary items, in your document, and adds the term and description to a glossary table in your document.

That's very funny skiwi, at the same time as being true as well !  I would add "and your friends' friends too" !

Truly, and "the horses they rode in on too!"

We need all the help we can get.

1. Export to .csv
2. Open in a spreadsheet package
3. Add the new tagged value
4. Import from .csv

I use this method to export to and import from JIRA...

(We still don't have JIRA connector here)

Andy

PS> Sparxians... if you added JIRA connector to the base functionality, I'd be a happy chappy.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: XSD Datatypes

« on: July 03, 2013, 02:36:31 pm »

I'm not sure if you're seeing more than one error.

I just tried adding a fake "type" stuff to an attribute, and received the error you described.

By changing the name of the type to "xs:stuff" it quite happily was imported into the Schema.

Just a shot in the dark...

Have you defined "types" for your attributes?

Suggestions and Requests / Multi Select to work with change default image

« on: May 21, 2012, 03:41:50 pm »

Hi People,

I'd really like it if I could select multiple classes in a diagram before selecting a new default image for those classes.

At the moment, if I select multiple classes, the context menu is no longer available.

If I use the keyboard shortcut, only one class in the selection is updated.

It's only a minor thing, but becomes more annoying when images are lost due to importing a diagram from another model.

Suggestions and Requests / Re: RTF generation with images and tables

« on: December 13, 2010, 11:50:49 am »

Eugen,

Is it EA diagrams that you're trying to copy into your word documents?

If so, have a look at "copy RTF bookmark" in the help text.

Following Sparx's instructions, I'm creating RTF documents that contain all the material that I need in my Word documents.

In the Word documents, I have pasted links to "RTF bookmarks" that are embedded in the RTF file.

Provided that you add those bookmarks appropriately, you can update your Word documents to show new information with a few key presses...

i.e. F8 to generate an updated RTF (In EA)

Ctrl-A (Select all in Word)
F9 (Update all selected in Word)

Suggestions and Requests / Re: Alternative/Except flow of the Alternative flo

« on: November 05, 2010, 03:04:57 pm »

I've raised a registered user bug report/request on this issue, I'd really like you all to do the same.

I'm struggling to create a use case in the structured scenario editor that relies heavily on alternative flows within alternative flows.

So far I haven't been able to work around this using extends and includes...
