Is it possible to EXCLUDE in the documentation all the elements that have no name?
I mean that the model is full of ":gateway" or ":start" or ":end" elements, that have no particular meaning. If I do not give any name to an element (gateway, event, sequence flow) I want to show it in the diagram but it is unuseful to generate any documantation.

Also: is it possible to hyperlink html/doc pages on activities or documents ?
Is it possible to SEARCH models/diagrams containing a particulare word or sentence (like "discussion cicle")?

Best regard

Thank you for your suggestions.

Certainly possible. We can add an option for this. But may I know whether you want to remove those pages for no-name models completely, or keep them accessible by clicking on the no-name shapes on diagram?

Sorry, but I do not quite understand. Would you mind providing more information?

I look forward to hearing from you.

But may I know whether you want to remove those pages for no-name models completely, or keep them accessible by clicking on the no-name shapes on diagram? I believe that it is better to completely remove (first choise) or to remove if the element has is not associated any other documentation (like word document or comment/description). My scenario is this: a) The end-user of the documentation is not a developer but a business user. b) This business user wants to understand and to navigate the process c) If the user clicks a subprocess, it must drill down directly to the subprocess (currently the documention is open and you can drill-down clicking Open Diagram) c) If an element has not any associated documentation, it is not useful to have it accessible > Also: is it possible to hyperlink html/doc pages on activities or documents ? > Sorry, but I do not quite understand. Would you mind providing more information? Hyperlinking associated docs. Scenario: a) A file (word, html) is associated to an element (task, document, gateway, sequence,...) a document via Open Specification->Reference b) The user selects the elements c) the associated doc is open. If you associate MANY docs, an html page showing a list of the docs is open and you can select one of this. I tryed to use the tag into Documentation, but I was not able to have this tag active. > Is it possible to SEARCH models/diagrams containing a particulare word > or sentence (like "discussion cicle")? > I will forward your suggestion to our developers for further studies.

Is this a bug or the intended behaviour?]]> http://forums.visual-paradigm.com/posts/1507#5490.html http://forums.visual-paradigm.com/posts/1507#5490.html
Sorry for my late response.

About the "unselectable" behavior of diagram and publisher output. Actually it is not a bug. The unselectable option is for diagramming only. May I know your reason why you do not want the shapes to be selectable in published reports? Thank you.

I agree with Giancarlo about to delete the pools, etc because I want this great functionality but for my business users.

Also I have a problem, when I use the project publisher it doesn't respect the flow from start to end of the diagram objects.
The project publisher do not have an option of Sort Element By?
Thanks
