The popup menu contains the following items:
Edit enables you to modify selected Flow Diagrams. It opens an editor window which contains the object ready for editing. You can only select one object at a time for editing. If you are running multi-user ProMod-PLUS and want to edit a diagram that another user is editing, open the diagram in view mode. Then you can write your changes to a file using the Out command.
View enables you to view a selected Flow Diagram. You can only select one diagram for viewing. In view mode you can edit the diagram but you cannot save these changes to the Project Library. The facility to edit the diagram in the view editor is useful if you are running ProMod-PLUS in multi-user mode. If another user is already editing the diagram, you can open the diagram in view mode, make the changes and then save them to a file using the Out command.
Show Parent Diagram enables you to look at the next level up in the SA Hierarchy for a selected Flow Diagram. The name of the parent diagram or diagrams is listed. The selector displays the name of the parent or parents, if one or more exists. You can then work with the required object in the same way as normal.
Show Traceability Links to
Modular Design. This command opens the Autotracer for the chosen component. The Autotracer automatically displays the Traceability Links from the selected object to Modular Design objects. You can alter the selections in the Autotracer if you want to display the Traceability Links for different objects. If the Autotracer was already open when you used this command then the entries in the Autotracer are updated.
Task Design. This command opens the Autotracer for the chosen component. The Autotracer automatically displays the Traceability Links from the selected object to Task Design objects. You can alter the selections in the Autotracer if you want to display the Traceability Links for different objects. If the Autotracer was already open when you used this command then the entries in the Autotracer are updated.
GUI Design. This command opens the Autotracer for the chosen component. The Autotracer automatically displays the Traceability Links from the selected object to GUI Design objects. You can alter the selections in the Autotracer if you want to display the Traceability Links for different objects. If the Autotracer was already open when you used this command then the entries in the Autotracer are updated.
Rename enables you to rename the selected Flow Diagram. Note that this does not rename the related Mini Spec. If you want to rename this as well you should use the Rename command from its selector. To change the name of a component within a diagram itself use the Alter command which is found on each component pop-up menu.
Delete enables you to delete one or more Flow Diagrams from the project library. You are asked to confirm the deletion before it is carried out. Note: You cannot "undo" this action.
Analyze
Including Subtree. This command enables you to analyze the selected Flow Diagram and all Flow Diagrams below it in the hierarchy. When you select this command, the analyzer starts. When the analysis is complete an output window is displayed which contains a list of the errors found.
Excluding Subtree. This command enables you to analyze the selected Flow Diagram only. No other Flow Diagrams will be analyzed. When you select this command, the analyzer starts. When the analysis is complete an output window is displayed which contains a list of the errors found.
Output
Extract enables you to backup selected Flow Diagrams from the current project library. These backup files can then be restored into a project library using the Load command. The extracted file is placed in the directory from which you started ProMod-PLUS.
Plot enables you to output one or more diagrams. It creates a separate print file for each diagram. Plot is only available for graphical objects. You can either set the Plot Options before you use this command or you can change the settings in the dialog box which appears when you choose Plot.
Report
Including Subtree enables you to report on the selected Flow Diagram, and all the Flow Diagrams beneath it in the hierarchy. This command opens a dialog box from which you can change the General Report Options. The content of the report is dependent on the settings of the Requirements Report Options, which are also available from this dialog box.
Excluding Subtree enables you to report on the selected Flow Diagram. This command opens a dialog box from which you can change the General Report Options. The content of the report is dependent on the settings of the Requirements Report Options, which are also available from this dialog box.
Annotations enables you to attach annotations to an object. The Annotation Selector is opened listing the Annotation types available for the object.
