Limiting table entries to those used elsewhere inn

[Dries Gerryts]

Is it possible to only print a related item if used in in the “contrlling” table.

Example: List of UC’s refer to actors. I want only the actors referred to print instead of all the actors present in the repository.

To print the list of Actors who use a particular use case, in the eaDocX Profile page select ‘UseCase’ – Properties
Under the section ‘Add information about RELATED element’ press ‘Single Attribute’. Then select the type of relationship which you use to connect ‘UseCases’ and ‘Actors’ (should be Association, but some people mistakenly use UseCase as the relationships type).
Then tell eaDocX what to print for each Actor – usually best to choose ‘Name – hyperlinked’ which will print the list of actors for each use case, with a hyperlink to wherever in your document you list all the actors.

That works fine. What if I only want the actors referenced by the hyperlink included in the document. We may have 100 actors but the document only needs to include the ones that are related to the use cases contained in the document.

Thanks for the suggestion.

You weren’t the only one asking for this so we have provided this feature in the latest version – download the Beta v2.2 and see the Element Cross Reference reports.
