Can we edit or create a view under a baseline configuration of DNG artefacts?

Hi

Hi Chandrasekar,

I've created an enhancement request to deal with very issue here, feel free to vote for it if you feel this feature would be valuable:

134245: Ability to export a custom view to excel without saving it

Judging by the below Plan item, it looks like this feature will be implemented in some future release of DNG:

134325: [RM] CM: Baselines - General Improvements

Hi Chandrasekar,

I've found a partial workaround to export new custom views greater than 200 artifacts from a DOORS Baseline. Create your custom view and choose generate report from the menu in the top right (under the icon with the three stacked horizontal bars).

Choose “Print Module Table” from the list of options in "Select report type" tab

Keep clicking through until the "Report information" tab.In the “Report information” tab choose Microsoft word and tick the “Show attributes” checkbox

The table that is generated from this report should match the attributes and links that are displayed in your new custom view. You can copy and paste the table into excel to mimic a regular export of a custom view.

Note that this method comes with some caveats. Namely, you can’t save the new custom view and you can only produce this style of report within modules. It might be possible to create a similar style report template for base artifacts but I think you'd need access to RPE to be able to create new templates outside of the default.

Hopefully in spite of it's limitations this method can still help you to extract the information you need from Baselines.

Regards,

David
