About diagrams, you may use Supporting Materials with images and select
it as the publishing diagram by clicking the element -> Diagrams -> User
Defined Diagrams (if I'm not mistaken).

Anyway, I agree with you that the editor should allow the import of
custom icons or shapes, in order to better graphically represent the
processes and not enforce a unique way of representation. 

 

Remember that old proverb: "An image is worth a thousand words".

 

But 1.2 has a great evolution with the graphical editor. You should
check it.

Subject: [epf-dev] EPF improvement suggestions

 

Hello,

I'm using EPF Composer to model software processes and to publish them
into an Intranet. This tool answers to the majority of our needs.

But some of them are not covered. So I have thought about some EPF
improvement suggestions and I would like to know your feeling about them
before submitting a bug. For the following suggestions, could you tell
me if is it possible or is it planned in a further release?

*       Process diagrams: we would like to use external picture for the
process diagram while preserving the links to the objects which belong
to the picture, i.e. replace the SPEM diagram (with their links) by our
own picture (with the same links).

*       Process I/O: we would like to select own input/output to a
process contrary to the present solution which is the sum of its tasks
I/O. Indeed, we would like to hide internal I/O of a process which are
just used into the process and are not used out of it.

 

*       Task responsible: we would like to be able to model several
responsible for a task.

 

*       Customising of EPF outputs: we would like to be able to modify
the property name of the object (for example modify "key considerations"
of a task into "recommendations") on the generated Intranet and possibly
on the EPF interface.

 

*       Intranet content filter: we would like to filter the content of
the modelling objects which are published into the Intranet. For
example, we would like to suppress some properties of the task like
"planned, repeatable, ..." which are not useful for us.

 

*       Matrix export: we would like to export global matrices in order
to check them. For example, we would like to export a matrix linking all
the work product to the tasks, like individual table for a work product
which list its relationships with the tasks, but for all work products.


Sincerely, 

Laetitia ALBENQUE
