Profiles and Formatting (16)

Add New Element profile

Depending on the Profile selected when creating your document, you may not have formatting defined for all the EA elements that you want to document. Alternatively you may wish to define custom formatting for particular stereotypes.

In order to add formatting for a new element or any specific stereotype, open the Profile tab in the eaDocX control panel and select the plus symbol on the right hand side of the pane.

This will open a dialog where you can:

  1. Choose the element type
  2. Choose how to print – in-line, script, table (or ‘None – do not print’)
  3. Choose from the available stereotypes

Select Continue.

The appropriate in-line or table formatting screen will then allow you to define the formatting for your element. Once that is saved your new element will appear in the element list and the revised profile definition will be added to your document.

The option to choose “None – do not print” is applicable for Stereotypes only. This excludes all occurrences of the defined stereotype from your document. A confirmation dialog appears if you choose this option.

To copy the formatting of un-stereotyped elements, check the box.
