Business Process Visual ARCHITECT 2.0 SP1 Release Notes
Release Date: March 5, 2007
Modeling collaboratively with CVS
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a popular version control system that store artifacts centrally and keep track of changes and histories. All Visual Paradigm client products are integrated with CVS to facilitate collaborative modeling. Your team can use CVS repository to store project files, keep track of changes and perform modeling concurrently.
Modeling collaboratively with Subversion
Subversion (SVN) is a popular version control system that store artifacts centrally and keep track of changes and histories. All Visual Paradigm client products are integrated with Subversion to facilitate collaborative modeling. Your team can use Subversion repository to store project files, keep track of changes and perform modeling concurrently.
Textual Analysis Enhancements
Textual Analysis is a useful technique for identifying candidate objects from a textual representation of users' problem. In previous versions, it is possible to extract candidate actors, classes, use cases, and work flows from problem statement. Starting from this version onwards, the Textual Analysis feature is improved such that more kinds of candidate objects can be extracted from the problem statement. They include BPMN objects such as Task and Sub-process.
Element Sorting in Report Generation
Element sorting is always essential in modeling. Take the various diagram and model trees as example. One can easily locate an element from Model Tree if the listing of elements follows certain order such as by type or by name in alphabetical order. As representation of models, element sorting in report is as important as that in modeling.
Visual Paradigm supports different way of sorting the elements in generated report. The sorting will affect the sequence of elements appear in the PDF, HTML and Word report.
Group Diagram by Category
Visual Paradigm supports a broad range of diagrams that suit different kind of users, and thus different modeling needs. The types of diagrams that Visual Paradigm supports can be generally categorized into UML Diagrams, Requirements Capturing, Database/Data Modeling, Business Process Modeling and Others.
Enhanced Business Process Report Generation
In Business Process Diagram, participants can be defined for a messages to represent the sender and receiver of that message. In the previous version, the information of participant was not appear in generated reports. But from now on, participants will be shown as a separate model under the Detail section in generated report.
Optionally include Diagram Summary in Report Generation
Diagram Summary here refers to the table blocks shown in a generated report. A diagram summary table lists out the models that appear on a diagram, and provides linkage to them. While the summary table provides fast access to models, it may not be desired, especially for users who have certain predefined rules that guide the layout of reports. Now, it is possible to make the generated HTML, PDF and Word reports not to include the summary table.
