The first step is to create a template that generates a document that includes all the diagrams from a model.
If you use the first method, your template selects only diagrams that have the same names as the ones used to build the template.
The second method uses a generic element, which represents a type of model element that might exist in anyIBM Rational Rhapsody model. By using generic elements, you create a template that can be used with any model. There is another advantage to using generic elements - it is typically faster to build a template with them than with model elements.


Default text and attributes are added to the Text tab. You can edit or remove the text. Attributes specify the information to extract from the model. For example, the «$name» attribute indicates the name of the diagram in the generated document. You add additional text and attributes in a later task.
