Prolaborate Custom reports questions
« on: November 25, 2020, 10:24:25 pm »
Hello,

I created a custom report with a query to list all attributes in a class model: Package + Class name + attribute name.

To let users click on a class to see the properties, I included the ClassGuid and BaseType columns e.g.
select t_object.ea_guid as CLASSGUID, t_object.object_type as hide_BaseType, t_package.Name as Package, t_object.Name as Name, t_attribute.Name as Attribute ...

The class name to click requires the column to be called "Name". Is there a way to replace it with a different header such as Class (could we make Name_Class be interpreted as the clickable column and show Class as the header?). 

Also, would it be possible to add a support with specific keywords so we can open a class attribute directly?

Thanks
Guillaume

Can you try giving the alias as Class to Name? It should work!

We will add this to the Prolaborate backlog and will let you know when we take it up.

Just to be clear, just adding ClassGUID alias enables clicking capability.

If I use  t_object.Name as Name, I can click on the Class to see the properties, but if I change it to  t_object.Name as ClassName, it's not clickable.

Thank you for taking into account the feature request.
