We can do that using the same Expression dialog and doing the same actions as described previously. This property will show which exchange elements are consumed by the performer element. Now, let’s create a new derived property directly in the generic table.
Previously created Produces Exchange Element derived property is also available to add as a new column through the Show Columns menu. Then we select which information to display as new columns. For that purpose, we select Operational Performer as an Element Type and add existing Operational Performers to the table. Now, let’s create a generic table wherein we can also display information indirectly related to the Search Node, as well as to other Operational Performers. After clicking the OK button, Warning Order and Medical Condition exchange elements are displayed in the Note. From the properties list, select to display the Produces Exchange Element property. In the Compartment Edit dialog, select the Element Properties tab. Let’s create a Note and connect it to the Operational Performer Search Node.
We can use a Note element wherein we can display information indirectly related to the Search Node. In this particular example, our created derived properties are applicable to all Operational Performers, not only to Search Node. Next, we need to display values of the Produces Exchange Element derived property for the Operational Performer Search Node in the OV-2 diagram.Ī derived property is applicable to an element type, not the specific element. The Produces Exchange Element derived property has Warning Order and Medical Condition exchange elements as its values. Our created Produces Exchange Element derived property is placed under this subgroup. In the following figure, you can see that a new subgroup named Other is created in the Operational Performer Specification window. Then specify the derived property name and the expression for the meta chain as it is shown in the following figure. In the Expression dialog, select the Metachain Navigation property group. Open the Search Node Specification window and in the Traceability property group click the Create button. Let’s create the Produces Exchange Element derived property for the Operational Performer Search Node. We will analyze the OV-2 diagram from the DoDAF sample project.įirst, we will show the exchange elements produced by the Search Node. Exchange elements are information indirectly related to the Search Node element. Let’s say, we need to show Warning Order and Medical Condition exchange elements that are produced and consumed by the performer Search Node.
In the opened Select Columns dialog, select properties you want to display.On the table toolbar, click Show Columns button and select Select Columns.Selected derived properties are displayed in the Note. Double-click to select properties one by one.Select one or more properties and click the > or > button.In the Hidden list, move properties you want to display on a Note shape to the Selected list by doing one of the following: Right-click the Note shape and select Edit Compartment.Select a Note and click the Edit Element Properties smart manipulator.The Compartment Edit dialog opens.Create a Note for the selected element or select an existing one.To display derived properties on a Note shape You can display that information in the following ways: While working with your models, sometimes in the same diagram or table, you need to see information that is not directly related to an element. In the active table, right-click the derived property column heading and select Remove Derived Property.In the selected element Specification window, select the Traceability property group, choose the derived property you want to remove, and click the Delete button.In the Expression dialog make changes and click OK.In the active table, right-click the derived property column heading and select Edit Derived Property.In the selected element Specification window, select the Traceability property group, select a derived property you want to edit, and click the Edit button.If you want to create a derived property with the result other than an element, you need to change the derived property type manually.
