Here is what i have :
1-a lots of business process diagrams in a project (about 1000 diagrams !!!)
2- a Doc.Composer template that extract some information from a business process diagram
Here is what i need :
export each diagram info into a separate word file
Here is what i do already :
Run my template separately for each diagram
Problem :
it is a very time-consuming process because i have to run template separately for each diagram i.e i should do a repetitive process one thousand times !!!
Do you have any idea about how to do this with an automatic approach ?
Select the âWindowâ tab and then click âApplication optionsâ, this will open the screen as shown above. Click on âkeysâ and then simply enter âdocâ (without the quotes) into the search bar (see example above). This will show the export option you need.
Click on it, then click on âbindingâ entry field at the bottom, then click the keyboard combination which you want to use. Be sure that you donât get any warnings about conflicts. I discovered that control-alt-e should be usable here.
Then click apply, click ok and youâll probably be asked to restart the program. Afterwards you should be able to start your export using this keyboard combination.
The second option which I can think of is a plugin. However I need to get back to you on that one because although I do know which class Iâd need to use (DocumentationManager) Iâll need to check a few things for myself first.
Hi ShelLuser,
Thanks for your solution but its not what iâm looking for !!
If you want to learn about Doc.Composer templates please visit the below links :
What is Doc. Composer Template Language
In the mean time I looked into the whole thing a bit more and it looks as if this procedure can indeed be automated using a plugin. The generateWordDoc() method provides a way to specify an output file as well as a template.
Iâm going to set up a test case to see if this actually works.
The article below describe how to automatically generate document for each business process diagram in project with user specified XML template using Open API. You can find the sample plugin and its instructions inside the article.
Please note that in order to execute this plugin you will need to upgrade your VP Client to v15.0 build 20180415fi or above. Please follow the details below to update your VP client to the patch build to gain this enhancement.
Please make sure you have pressed the âUpdate to latest patchâ button on the left hand side of the dialog right after launching the update program
