List Report to capture Notes

[MountainKing]

I have a Conceptual Data Model (.cdm file) with several Packages. There are a number of diagrams per Package, and most contain Notes (the Note icon containing text).

Is it possible to run a List Report containing the content of all these Notes? I couldn't see anything suitable, despite playing with the Object Types for the List Report. I could move these to specific objects in the model (Entity/ Attribute) if needed.

Thanks,

Antony

I believe that the answer is no. In a diagram, the Note is a sub-symbol of the diagram.

In the Metamodel Objects Help, Notes are defined as 'Notesymbol'.

However, you can create a Dependency Matrix and then export the results to Excel. I believe that the following can give you a starting point.

1. Create a new Dependency Matrix

2. Rows = Conceptual Diagram

3. Columns =Conceptual Diagram

4. Dependency - click the Advance button

•      define the following dependency path:
•      Symbols = Note Symbol
•      Diagram = Conceptual Diagram
•      click OK
• 

5. Object type = Note Symbol

6. Object Attribute = String
