Persistent document generation filters
« on: September 24, 2014, 05:18:14 pm »
I have a Master Document, and a number of nested Model Documents.

A number of my Model Documents work on different packages, and within those packages require different filter criteria.

I would like to use the same template for multiple model documents, with different filter criteria. The best solution would be for the filter criteria set on the model document to persist rather than reset when the dialog is closed. This way, for each model document I could set the template to use, then using the model document "generation" page, set the desired filter criteria.

When I then generate the document from the Master Document, each of  the filter criteria is applied to each model document. To work around this I am having to create multiple copies of the same template with different filter criteria for each.

If changing existing behaviour is not desired then perhaps something on the properties page for the model document? some tagged values? persistent filters?

If you go into the document options (in the template editor) rather than changing it in the generation dialog then the filters will be saved with the template.
