Personnel Availability Gantt Chart

The Personnel Availability Gantt Chart is implemented. Using this chart, you will be able to model your actual organization structure based on the typical organization structure and fill Actual Posts with one or more Actual Persons. You will be able to visualize how the actual posts are filled, see which actual persons becomes available on the certain period of time.

It will show Actual Organizations and Actual Posts as rows. Each Actual Post may be filled with Actual Person. The relationship is FillsPost. The relationship may have start and end dates, they show the frame when Actual Person fills the Actual Post. The same Actual Person may work in several positions.

  • When Operational Connector is connected to a port, and the port has an Operational Interface with Flow Property with a type of Information Element, the Realized Operational Exchange dialog should strip a list of possible Information Elements. If there are two different Operational Interfaces, from both of them the overlapping Information Elements are collected. The same is valid for the Resources and Data Elements.
  • Now you can change the conveyed item directly in the Resource / Operational Exchange Manager dialogs.
  • The new Resource Exchange Type column is now available in the Resource Exchange Manager dialog.

  • The new symbol properties are added to control the Information Flow Name and ID representation in the diagram:

    • Show Name of Information Flow (true/false).
    • Show ID of Information Flow (true/false)

  • Starting with 19.0 SP1 version, the latest NAF 4 standard version is supported.
  • Now creating a new project, you can choose how you want to order the packages. In the New Project dialog, you can choose to order the packages by framework or alphabetically.
  • When you create a property element from the diagram palette on the target element, the Structure compartment of the target element opens and the property element is displayed in it.

  • Only the Data Type is available as a Conveyed Item for the Command and Control relationships.
  • Typing the Type for pins in a diagram, instead of the class the appropriate elements are created:
    • Information Element for Operational Activity Action
    • Data Element for Function Action
  • The Security Property type now depends from the owner:
    • when the owner  is «OperationalAgent», the Security Property type is «InformationElement» or its specializations.
    • when the owner  is «ResourcePerformer», the Security Property type is «DataElement» or its specializations,
    • when the owner  is «InformationElement», the Security Property type is «InformationElement» or its specializations,
    • when the owner  is «DataElement», the Security Property type is «DataElement» or its specializations.

  • The newly created packages are named by default. The packages are named according to the domain view. For example, when you choose to create an Operational Structure package, it is names Operational Structure. You can rename the package at any time. The same is valid for the reports. 

  • Now all the Taxonomy Tables have the Scope set by default. The Scope is set according to the owner of the table.
  • Typing a name on the Operational Association or Operational Connector and pressing Enter now creates a new Operational Exchange with conveyed Information Element. The same is valid for the Resource Exchange with Data Element. The exchanges are created between the types, so if the types are not set, the Realized Operational / Resource Exchange dialog is opened. Note, that if the name of conveyed item (Information Element or Data Element) already exists, the existing item is set.
  • Now after changing the end of the connector, the suggestion to update the Information Flow also is displayed.
  • The Measurement Set is added as a possible element to all Typical Measurement tables in all frameworks.

Complete Diagrams

When you work on a diagram, you invest a lot of time polishing the diagram layout to make it look good. However, if the content of your model changes, the diagram layout also changes and needs to be fixed. To save time, mark diagrams as complete and prevent their layout from being automatically updated.

The diagram on the right is marked as complete to prevent layout changes, which cause the distortions seen in the diagram on the left.

Deriving Layout Templates from a Composite Structure Diagram/Internal Block Diagram

Consider the effort it takes to perfect the layout of parts and their ports in Internal Block Diagrams. It would be more efficient to reuse the same layouts in other diagrams of your model. Now you can create layout templates directly from Internal Block Diagrams with just a few clicks.

Enhanced Sequence Diagram Modeling with Execution Specifications

With this release, Sequence Diagram modeling becomes more precise. The activation bars now represent real model elements: Behavior and Action Execution Specifications. This enhancement adds two benefits:

  • Navigation. Double-clicking the activation bars (Behavior Execution Specifications) enables you to navigate from a sequence diagram to other behavior diagrams.
  • Time and Duration Constraints can be attached to Behavior and Action Execution Specifications.

Forward Compatibility

Occasionally, a new service pack for a modeling tool is released while a team is working on a project. Some team members will upgrade their tool versions to the latest immediately, while other members will still use an earlier tool version. Beginning with Version 19.0, situations like this are handled by supporting forward compatibility. This enables all team members to work with different service pack versions if they do not all upgrade to the latest version at the same time.

Teamwork Cloud Used Projects Auto Update Plugin

Previously updating used projects to their latest versions was only possible manually which required a significant amount of effort. In this release, we are bringing a new plugin which fully covers the use case with two internal tools:

  • Command-line utility that performs the actual update of used projects,
  • Used Project Auto Update Wizard that just in a few simple steps helps to configure the necessary input file for the command-line utility.

Major versions of Used Projects

Collaborating in a team on a project which has a lot of used projects that tend to change frequently, results in a huge number of different used project versions on the server. However, only some of the versions are of significant importance, requiring to switch their versions in the using project. Considering that, we developed a mechanism which allows to specify when an update to a new used project version should be triggered.

Hide Used Projects

The Hidden Packages feature was improved. Now users can not only hide packages in their main model, but select a whole used project to be cut as well. This is useful whenever you want to avoid having unnecessary indirect project usages upon using a stripped-down version of your library or sub-system. Moreover, from now on a change in Hidden Packages configuration is treated as a model change and reported as such in various change-related panels. To finish-up Hidden Packages improvements for this release, we implemented a mechanism that notifies whenever a dedicated branch holding a stripped-down version of the model becomes inactive in other words -  model content is no more hidden.

Image Added

Hide used projects as other packages. Changes will be shown in Containment tree and various change-related panels (e.g. Change Sets).

Other Enhancements and Changes

  • The element locking feature was extended, now it is possible to lock elements without need to update a project to the latest version. However, this applies only for elements that are not modified in a latest version on the server.

  • For the convenience of the user, the Package permissions feature has been extended with an ability to assign permissions for the whole group of users.

  • As project development goes, users might end up with a long list of branches, which consist of working branches and branches which are left only for historic purpose. To make it easier to navigate in lists like this, now user simply can archivate branches.

  • We extend usability of several collaboration-related dialogs by adding search bar. This will help to deal with a large amount of projects in dialogs like Use Server Project, History, Open Server Project.
  • We improved Mount relation display in the containment tree, this improvement will allow easily distinguish mounted package and immediately know from which used project it came.
