Goals of eaDocX

The goal of eaDocX is to make your documents more readable, allowing readers to understand what you have put into your EA model. And to make it fast and easy to do that.

Some ways that eaDocX can help you do this are:

• Creating documents based on your current modeling practices
• Automatically creating hyperlinks from EA connections
• Adding conditional formatting rules to show where there is critical or missing data
• Including reports which cut across your EA model structure
• And Matrix Reports showing the EA Relationship Matrix, with loads more new features

Making documents more Interactive

Because eaDocX documents are 100% Word documents, when they need to be reviewed your readers can make revisions and add comments to them as usual.

With ea Revision Manager also installed, when you receive the reviewed documents back, eaDocX collates and organizes the revisions from multiple versions, helping you update EA with any changes.
Managing interactive documents in this way, you can also retain a full audit history for the documents and the model changes.

Revision Manager is available to buy separately from eaTeamWorks.
