Embedding a collection within a module?
Apparently RRM does not allow to embed a collection within a module. I don't see explicit mentions to this in the documentation. Is that correct?
However, I think it is a usual requirement to be able to make a reference to a collection of artifacts in a structured document. For example, in a use case specification I might want to list all the actors of this use case. I wish I could create a collection of actors and then embed this collection in the chapter "actors" of my use case specification. But maybe this is not a desirable behavior to embed collections within a module? Thanks for your help Lionel |
Accepted answer
You could add the individual actors to the module, which, assuming that they are in a common folder or filter, wouldn't be too hard to do. Or you could insert the collection into a single artifact that is in the module.

Yes adding individual actors wouldn't be too hard to do. However, these actors might be part of an evolving collection of actors. If I add the actors manually at a point of time, these list of actors might have evolved afterwards, and my module will not reflect this evolution.
< Or you could insert the collection into a single artifact that is in the module. Provided that RRM prevents me to add directly a collection to a module, I am assuming that you suggest to create an artifact (with text format I guess) into which I embed a collection, and that I add this single artifact into my module. Is that correct? I tested it and that works :) However, when I print the module, I get a simple list of all the artifacts that are part of my collection. However, I wonder now if it is possible to embed in way or another a view of this collection with columns? |

No, sorry, that is not possible. Feel free to open an enhancement request if you don't find an existing one.

I have a last complementary question, do you confirm it is not possible to embed a module within a module?
If this is true, then I'll add that as well to an enhancement request ( if there isn't an existing one ) |

correct, you cannot embed a module within a module.
