Adding rich notes to elements

Modelio lets you create rich notes. These rich notes can be MS Office documents or OpenDocuments (LibreOffice or OpenOffice).

Creating a rich note

The rich note creation process

Steps:

Select the element you want to add a rich note to.
In the “Notes & constraints” view, click on the “Add rich note” button. The “Create a rich note” window then appears.
In the “Create a rich note” window, give the note a name by clicking in the “Rich note name” field and then entering the name of the note.
In the “Rich note role” field, choose a role from the list.
In the “MIME format” field, choose a format from the list.
Finally, add a short description of your note in the “Abstract” field.
Click on OK to create the rich note.

Note: In case Modelio cannot find automatically the OpenDocuments editor (LibreOffice or OpenOffice), check the LibreOffice/OpenOffice Rich Notes settings in Modelio settings.

The rich note editor

Note: MS Office rich notes are saved using the second button in the Modelio toolbar

Create a template for new rich notes

You can create a default file for each role name. These files should be stored in the .projectdata/admin/documents directory.

The template file can be named:

role-name.mime-type.dat like file
role-name.dat like file.

All invalid characters in a file name in the document type and MIME type are replaced by ‘_’ when the file is searched for. Invalid characters are [ : \ / * ? | < > ].
