Using custom tags for rows in a matrix

[scott.tarmey@gd-ms.com]

I have imported a bunch of requirements from a DOORs DB using DataHub. Each requirement used an extension of the extended requirement block so that I could add some custom tags to each upon import. One of the custom DOORs attributes is a Function Allocation that lists the function in the model that fulfills the requirement. I need to establish the satisfy relationships between the imported requirements and the functions listed in the model.

A matrix would be the quickest way to establish these relationships but I cant figure out how to show the custom tag "function allocation" as the row name in the matrix. I can get the requirements listed but it just will show their name. I have all the functions as columns so if I get the function allocation as rows putting the arrows into the intersections will be trivial.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Scott

Hello,

Thank you for your question.

If I clearly understood your need, you want a quick way to introduce the relationship between requirement and function. For this, I can suggest you create the dependency matrix by showing requirements as rows and functions as columns. Set the dependency criteria to the custom tag "function allocation" - you can select it from Simple Navigation operation.

Thank you for the response but your suggested solution does not produce the matrix I would like.

In my imported requirements there is an attribute from DOORs for each requirement that lists the function/s that satisfies the requirement. I have set up a profile that during DataHub sync the function listed in the DOORs attribute maps to a tag value in the created requirement within MagicDraw.

I would like to have the matrix list the tag value (function) of each requirement vice the requirement name. I am dealing with 200+ requirements and 75+ functions, looking at the tag values for each requirement will be very time consuming.

If it is not possible to populate the rows of a matrix with the value of a tag please let me know.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for your additional details.

Unfortunately, there is no possibility to show tag value as representation name of row element in Matrix.
