Can a WebEA user run a report?

[HLidstrom]

A modeler creates a Report Specification with Sparx EA. The element is visible for a WebEA user, but can the report be invoked by them?
And if report specifications can't do it, is there another way to allow a WebEA user to run a report?
It would be useful for a reviewer to have fresh data and not have to rely on a report that was generated several days a ago.

I can't find anything about WebEA and reporting and I suspect what the answer will be. But I want to ask anyhow.
Thanks!

Hi,

WebEA doesn't generate reports. However you can generate a report in Sparx and save the generated pdf/docx in Sparx As a DocumentArtifact or as an Artifact where the document content is added to the Artifiacts LinkedDocument.

In both cases WebEA users can click on the artefact to see the previously generated and saved document.

Thanks for the tip.

I thought about that, but it would still be a snapshot from whenever a modeler last updated the linked document. Not quite what I wanted, but my suspicion is corroborated.

We must work with what we have!
