Add Images or Tables to Requirement Elements?

[SysEngr123]

Hello,

Newish to EA, but very familiar with SysML tools.  Is there a way to add images and/or tables directly into requirement element's "Notes" attribute?  I am utilizing EA to capture all of my product requirements and it is painful to have to reference images and tables stored in a document storage system through a hyperlink rather than store them directly within the requirements tool.

You can use boundaries and there Alternate Image (from context). I would guess it will end in tedious work keeping images up-to-date.

Use the linked document (Ctrl+Alt+D) feature. That is internally stored as RTF, and you can paste images and tables in it just like you would in MS Word.

Thanks for the responses.  For the linked document approach, after you create a linked document and save it, it doesn't look any different in the model browser.  Is there a way to show this linked document underneath the requirement element in the model browser?

no, you can't see it in the project browser. On diagram you can see a small red "A" icon. (if you have the option enabled since v16)

Just FYI,

In the latest build, the "A" icon has been changed to the document icon (easier to understand meaning) and the icons are shown by default (we do not need to enable the option to show the icon).
