Chapter 4 Managing a Report


Managing packages

In the Package Options page, you can organize report items according to packages.

This page is not displayed if your model does not contain any package or composite object, such as nodes, processes or activities for example.

You can build a report on the entire model or narrow your selection to a specific package that you select from the list.

When you select a package from the list, all its sub-packages are also included in the selection.

Global objects (business rules for example) are automatically selected, even when you select a package.

Besides, composite objects are considered as packages and display in that list.

The following options help you organize your report items when your model contains packages:

Options Description
Without packages, all objects are described at the same level Displays all objects, sub-objects (like sub-process or sub-activity) and objects contained in the sub-packages at the same level
One section per package, objects are described under their package Creates a section for each package. Sub-packages display at the same level as their parent packages. When an object is directly defined under the model, a "Model level" title item is created
Hierarchical sections, each sub-package is a sub-section in the document Creates a section for each package and a sub-section for each sub-package. The display exactly matches the package hierarchy

The preview pane on the left hand-side displays a table of contents of a sample model that changes dynamically according to your selection.
