Traceability support using Diagram Transitor
Most of the software projects involve multiple development phases. Developers often like to touch up their requirements specification iteratively, while keep track of the linkages among diagrams between the development phases. Unfortunately, there's no easy mechanism to achieve these. With the introduction of Diagram Transitor, now developer can transcribe all the shapes and diagram elements from one diagram to another in one simple step. More importantly, all linkages among diagrams will be formed automatically for future reference, fully realized the true spirit of traceability advocated in UML 2 standard.
Copy diagram elements as XML
Have you ever thought about copying partial diagram contents of a large scale diagram from one software project to another for reuse and comparisons? Now you will be able to copy model elements as XML for later reuse in one simple step, further enhancing the interoperability and reusability of Logizian (formerly BP-VA).
Introduce Event-driven Process Chain Diagram
Event-Driven Process Chain (EPC) Diagram is a widely used diagram which has been newly incorporated in the feature-rich Visual Paradigm Suite 3.3. EPC is the often used by process designers to illustrate the control of lower-level structure of a business process as a chain of events and functions with simplicity and easy-to understand notations.
Introduce Process Overview Diagram
Process Overview Diagram helps to draw a simple picture of processes in approaching a business goal. It is rather in an upper level of analyzing and understanding a business process. Process Overview Diagram has now been incorporated as one of the business process modeling diagrams in Visual Paradigm products.
Introduce Organization Chart
An Organization Chart is a diagram showing the structure of an organization, relationships and relative ranks in its part and jobs. It's very useful in understanding the relationships between departments or a group in a company. It's now being incorporated in Visual Paradigm products for business modeling.
Share data object state in Business Process Diagram
Business Process Diagram (BPD) always contains Data Objects in different states. We enhanced the BPD to allow setting states for the Data Object models for showing the change of their state in business work flow modeling.
Show 'Undo/Redo' action name
Undo and Redo are handy ways to cancel or restore the actions we've done in the project, but it may not be reliable to soly rely on our own memories of the actions done. Therefore, we enhance the tools to have the actions name shown in the Undo and Redo options.
Support more options in PDF, MS Word and HTML report generation
A report generated by the Report Engine maybe very long causing by the repeatitve model information due to the multiple model views. New option for report publishing is provide to eliminate these duplicated information. More options are also provided for enhancing the control of how the Rich Text Format (RTF) contents to be represented in the reports.
