Hi,
Not sure exactly what you want the worksheet to look like so I’ll explain how eaXL will output information for table elements, and highlight some of the issues that you may see. And I hope that helps you get what you need.
Firstly worth mentioning that EA stores the field names as attributes and items such as the PK as operations.
eaXL will output either the attributes or operations for one or more classes but not both at the same time.
If you want to see a list of the fields, for example look at the fields for several table elements in the same package. Select the package. Extensions | eaDocX | Open ALL in Excel | ALL attributes.
Each row output will contain an attribute (field) together with its table name (ClassName column D) and its name. You can add columns using those items listed on the Columns tab.
You can also make changes to each row / compare / import as for any other attribute.
If you want to see then you need to output the operations and see that the name e.g.”PrimaryKey”. If you output the stereotype column then this will be stereotyped PK.
The reason that the “Child Elements” nor “Compound Attributes” are output is that they do not exist for EA attributes or operation.
So that’s what we do at present, and without the exact detail of what you would like to see I cannot comment further. However, I hope this information enables you to get what you need, and if I can be of further help please ask.
Regards
Adrian
