Why does DOORS NG export links as URLs and not text?


andrew s (1113) | asked Aug 04 '16, 5:50 p.m.
I'm using DOORS NG, in a module, and have saved a view with columns of ID, Name, and a link column (in this case i'm using the 'satisfies' link). When I select all the artifacts and export to csv, xls, or xlsx, DOORS outputs a file with all the data I want except the link . Instead, it formats the link column information as a URL which is garbage and not readable by a human.

{LINK id=8747 uri=https://jazz.net/sandbox01-rm/resources/CA_b6903424abe24889a3577e7ed522eeab}
{LINK id=8749 uri=https://jazz.net/sandbox01-rm/resources/CA_ebbe41c98f1f4a76955fa3b4a59ed2b0}
{LINK id=8748 uri=https://jazz.net/sandbox01-rm/resources/CA_fd4be2593bb2425282ecdc217c92fa99}

How can I get it to simply export what I'm seeing on the screen - the links as text with ID and name?

I've also tried to run a document style report and output a word file but, when I run that, it doesn't output the whole thing. It gets through maybe half the artifacts and then the word file ends. Where are the rest of my artifacts? Only DOORS knows.
