System Document Templates
When you generate reports on your model, you select one of the report templates to extract information on specific key aspects of your model. There are several system templates available to use, either to generate a report straight away or to copy and customize to suit your own requirements. Each of the system templates supports a specific aspect of modeling or model management.
You usually generate reports on Packages selected from the Project Browser; these can be used to produce great hierarchical reports on parts of your model, or the whole model if you wish. There are also system templates for reporting the diagrams in a Package, and you can use the system templates to report on elements returned in search results - such reports are non-hierarchical, as they extract specific information from different areas of the model.

Audit Report - Detailed |
Incorporates information from the latest Audit runs.
|
|
Data Modeling Report |
Used for reporting on Physical database models of any of the three types - UML DDL, Information Engineering and IDEF1X. With data modeling, a Class represents a table and its attributes represent table fields. In the Data Modeling template, the section and field names are selected to represent the Tables, Columns (fields) and specific Column attributes.
|
|
Diagram Report |
Extracts information on the diagrams for a Package. It is primarily used for outputting diagram graphics and titles. A common use of this template is where diagrams linked into an external Word master document (where virtual documents are not being used) are to be refreshed. Using the bookmarks generated with the documents, you can refresh the master document diagrams.
|
|
Glossary |
Extracts the Glossary terms and their types, defined in the Project Glossary. This is commonly used in Virtual documents for appending the Glossary to a larger document.
|
|
Maintenance Report |
Extracts the Element | Change, Element | Defect and Element | Issue details for all elements in a selected Package. This is the information defined on the Maintenance window.
|
|
Model Report |
The most generalized template, which includes all of the commonly used Sections and fields. It is more appropriate in its use of field names to UML Classes. This template provides table formatting for most of the Elements sub-groups, such as Scenarios, Constraints, Attributes and Operations.
|
|
Project Issues |
Extracts information on the set of issues that are logged globally in the repository. To report on the non-global, element-specific issues, see the Element | Issue section in the Model Report template.
|
|
Project Management Report
|
Shows the Resource allocation, Effort, Metric and Risk details for each element in the selected Package. |
|
Requirements Report - Details
|
|
|
Requirements Report - Summary |
Extracts information on external requirement elements associated with other elements (often Use Cases). The specific report section Element | External Requirements is selected in the template. To extract information on each element's internal requirements (responsibilities), you would select the Element | Requirements section, as in the Model Report template.
|
|
Specification Manager List
|
|
|
Test Report |
Extracts the Element | Test details for all elements in a selected Package, as defined on the Testing window, and the test data generated by xUnit testing and Testpoint code testing. |
|
Use Case Details |
Extracts information on the Use Cases in a selected Package, including the details of any scenarios. This template also excludes child structures. If you want to include sub-element Use Cases, select the Element | Child Elements section.
|
|
Use Case Summary |
Extracts basic element description information on the Use Cases in a selected Package. This excludes scenario details and child structures (to filter out the information on any Sequence diagrams set as child diagrams of the Use Case elements).

Model Document Master |
Model Document templates are used when creating 'virtual documents'. The Master template provides the common features for a series of documents generated from other templates. Virtual documents do not have to have a Master Document � a single model document template can provide the basis for a generated document. This allows Package details (such as Package | Package Element | Tagged Value) to be defined in Model Documents; these sections are not available in Master Documents. If you do use a Master template, set any Table of Contents you require in the first Model Document template, to ensure that a Header text is available to create a TOC. A Master document often does not have Header text and hence a TOC cannot be created.
