Reducing visual clutter in DoDAF 2 reports

Architecting and designing : DoDAF : DoDAF 2 : Reducing visual clutter in DoDAF 2 reports

You can reduce visual clutter and complexity in reports that you generate for DoDAF 2 by using the NAMEONLY keyword. When applied at the report level or for individual properties, the keyword prevents the generation of field prefixes and key GUIDs in the report output.

Prerequisite

First, enable the use of the NAMEONLY keyword capability: see Optimizing capabilities for DoDAF 2 modeling.

Procedure

1 Edit a DoDAF 2 report in Text Mode.

2 To hide prefixes and GUIDs for individual properties, in the attributes for the associated FIELD property, type the following keyword:

NAMEONLY

The following code shows an example of the keyword used in a field:

FIELD "Rules <-- ruleConstrainsActivity" {SOURCE PROPERTY "ruleConstrainsActivity" LENGTH 1200 TYPE MEMO NAMEONLY}

3 To hide prefixes and GUIDs for all properties in a report, type the following code in the report as a SETTING:

SETTING {NAMEONLY}

4 To test the report output, in the Edit dialog box, click Generate.

5 Click OK.
