Use EA Legend auto color in Prolaborate?
« on: August 05, 2024, 11:50:08 pm »
In EA, I can add a legend on a diagram which can set the colors of the elements depending on the settings in the legend.
The legend element also has a checkbox "Apply auto color" which automatically recolors the elements when checked.
Can I also use this feature on the Prolaborate page showing the same diagram?
Or is the checkbox option only available within EA?

The legend applied in EA will also appear in Prolaborate. Any changes to legend in EA will impact the diagram in Prolaborate.

Thanks Nabil for this reply.
I'm aware that Prolaborate shows whatever EA has come up with, so this is not what I was after.

To rephrase my question:
Is there any support in Prolaborate for changing a diagram without the need to use an EA client?
This would be very useful in the case where there are a number of legends on the diagram, each showing a different feature of the elements on the diagram.
Now I would like the colleagues using Prolaborate to do some analysis on the diagram by switching on or off certain legends themselves.

Hello, This is a very good request. Unfortunately, it is not possible today. However, I will look into the possibilities of activating/deactivating a legend from Prolaborate itself for analysis.
For similar requests, you can directly write to [email protected]

As for a filter functionality within ProCloud: At present, this feature is not available, but it is on the roadmap. The development could be expedited if multiple users submit feature requests.

Please note that the current filter behavior is not well-received by most EA users (specifically consumers) due to technical limitations, where an element can only belong to one filter value.

You could submit a feature request for Prolaborate to allow building filters that display only the selected elements. Given that Prolaborate is designed with EA consumers in mind, this request might be prioritized due to its significant added value. However, this would mean that modelers might not see improvements in filtering features, aside from what is expected with time-aware modeling, which may not be sufficient for extracting specific flows from a large technical design in order to find redundancies or improvements.
