Document Structure in Report Writer

General Questions/Discussions
1

Hi

I’m playing around with capabilities of the ReportWriter tool to generate customized documentations on the fly.

One requirement I have is: A person which writes the documentation, should be free in structuring the document.

But if I’m adding a diagram to the document it adds it always with a chapter title on level 1. The same is with other templates. Each template is statically bound to a predefined level. I can change the level (setting the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph and press the -Key to increase the level). But after I press the “Update from Model” button all titles are reseted to the predefined level. :shock:

Is there any possibility to change this behavior?

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers,
Walter

Hi Walter,

In the latest version of VP-UML we’ve enhanced the Report Writer to increase the reliability and introduced several new features. You can drag content to report, and press Tab in front of a header to make it appear one level deeper.

I invite you download it and have a try. URL:

If there’s anything else I can help you with please let me know.
