The product provides additional methods to view
model data. A table view performs a query on a selected
element type and displays a detailed list of its various attributes
and relations. A matrix view displays queries showing
the relations among selected model elements.
These
views provide the following development capabilities:
- Define and run dynamic queries of model content
- Provide easy requirements display and analysis
- Produce exportable and printable tables and data
lists
Procedure
To
create either the table or matrix view, follow these general steps:
- Select any area of the model in the Rational® Rhapsody® browser where you want to store
a table or matrix layout (query design).
- Define a layout for the table or
matrix (as described in the following topics) and save it in the selected
browser location.
- Define a view of the model data using
the previously defined layout. This view also gives you the opportunity
to define the scope of the query for the view.
- In the browser, double-click the defined
view to display the results of the query in the drawing area.
- To edit the data displayed in a view, use
the Features window for the view and click the Refresh button
to
update the view. Note: Data displayed in
views cannot be edited directly in a view. You must use the Features
window for a view to make your edits.
- To export the data, right-click the data
in the drawing area and select Copy.
