I am trying to use database diagrams in Sparx EA to collect and communicate information about how we are using tables.
I want to add information to columns and have this information show up in a diagram.
For example, the first thing I want to do is note which columns are required in a given application.
I have used the reverse-engineering to import all the many tables into my Sparx project.
It looks like I can extend column information with Tags at least.
But I can't find a way to show my custom tags in a diagram, such as a basic database diagram with tables.
Is there a way to visualize custom tag information for columns in a diagram?
What seems like the most direct example would be such as the following, where a custom "usage" Tag appears after the column name and data type ...
I welcome other options such as conditionally changing the color or font or something based on the Tag,
if adding the Tag name & value is not possible.

I have created a database in anylogic. Previously, I have related the information in the row to the columnn, i.e. there is a component in the row, and its properties are in the columns, and have put this in a function. Now I want to make the component the column and the properties, but don't know how to make it all relate. Below is the code I've written for the former:
site = selectFrom(parameters) .where(parameters.box_number.eq(boxNumber)) .where(parameters.site.eq(site)) .firstResult(parameters.site);
So box_number is the component and site is one of the properties. With this method, site is a column, but I want it to be a row.
You should use the SELECT WHERE SQL syntax, see https://help.anylogic.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.anylogic.help%2Fhtml%2Fconnectivity%2Fquerying.html&resultof=%22%73%65%6c%65%63%74%22%20%22%77%68%65%72%65%22%20
You can filter and load data in any format. Also, best use the database query wizard to help:
I'm working on a project based on Laravel 5.3 and Backpack CRUD. My project has about 8 different content types (news, page, portfolio, events, team, video, gallery, jobs).
I need to be able to add tags to every content type (n-n), and every content type has its own specific tags, so tags are NOT shared between the content types.
If I want to use the select_multiple or select2_multiple field type, I would need 8 tables for the content itself, 8 pivot tables, and 8 tables for the tags(!).
Obviously I would like to have just one table for the tags, but if I use the select_multiple or select2_multiple field type, I get all tags in the edit-form of every content type.
So, my question is: Is there an elegant way to filter the results of the select_multiple or select2_multiple field type?
I have created a simple schema with two content types:
http://dbdesigner.net/designer/schema/60412
In this example I want to be able to filter the tag list on content_type_id, when I'm editing the content of news or page. So I just want to see the news tags in the news-edit form, and just the page tags, in the page-edit form.
Or maybe I should just use the select_multiple field type as intended, and accept the 8 tag tables(?)
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
I think a clean way would be to:
create different models for each tag use, so NewsTag, PageTag, PortfolioTag etc. that would only extend the Tag model and use a global scope to filter the results after content_type_id;
use backpack select2_multiple fields with NewsTag, PageTag, PortfolioTag etc; anything you set on the Tag model will be used (including the table attribute, mutators, accessors, etc);

I would like to report an UI diagram to a Word file.
I therefore create a template to extract the controls and their notes to a table.
The table, by default, is sorted by the aleph beta order of their names.
Is there a way to order the tabe by the order of the controls on the diagram?
The default options are to order by Tree order, Name, Modified date or Created date, so no diagram position.
What I would do is probably create an SQL fragment and order them in the query. It's a tad complicated, but doable if you know your way around the EA database structure.
For this web project, a table listing is implemented in many different places (~60 tables, as in jqgrid tables showing information from db). The table functions are mostly the same (sort, filter, pagination, some custom actions) but there are specific requirements for these (columns to be sorted/filtered, table actions, ...).
I am trying to come up with a right way to model every table with it's specific details. For this I created some default Tagged Values, which I fill in by hand (e.g. table headers = id, special name, direction). I created a default use case "View table" which I copy as a new instance in the use case diagrams for each of the packages that define the tables.
My questions are:
The way I did it doesn't seem to let me to link the default activity diagram to the use case instance (RClick on use case -> New child diagram -> Select composite diagram => doesn't open the window "select a diagram"). How can I do this ?
If the way I did it seems wrong / not a good practice, how could I do it better ?
To create (and link) activities for a use case Add/Activity/with AD from the project explorer for the UC. That will create it inside the UC where it belongs. item
You'd be better served with a simple profile that creates the TVs automatically. See here: http://community.sparxsystems.com/tutorials/552-24intro-to-creating-a-mdg-file
I have been using the content report table macro, which has been working. Ideally, I only want to list content matching certain labels, and lock in an alphabetical sort order and not show the content author.
I have not been successful in figuring out a way to do this just yet.
Is there a way to just edit the source code for that macro and create a "new one"? I'm struggling to find any useful documentation out there.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
I was also interested on doing this some days ago. Unfortunately, the Content Report Table Macro only have very limited parameters which are very strict. However, the way I succeeded to display only certain properties from the pages and present them in a tabular way (in Confluence 5.8) was with the combination of the macros Page Properties and Page Properties Report, both of them linked by a unique label. I'll break it down below.
Outcome:
1. Set up of properties you want to track
Create a page.
Add the Page Properties macro (no need to specify an ID)
Within the macro just add a table with all the properties you need to keep track of, similar to this:
Important, this is what links the two macros together: Add a label to the recently created page.
2. Display properties in main page
Add Page Properties Report macro. Specify label used across all the already created pages. Also specify the space (I just love this part). In here you also add custom fields (some fields from Content Reports are here). In Options you can specify which properties to display (columns to show), also the sorting order (in my case I'm sorting by the property ID that I added to each page).
Note: if you just want to remove the content author this can even be done easier: no need to add any property, just specify the label of your pages and add the fields you need to show and sorting order.
Hope this helps.
