Good feedback, Christian. Currently we have no plans in that direction. Feel free to propose something.
Thanks and best regards, Peter Haumer. ______________________________________________________________ PETER HAUMER, Dr. rer. nat.

The tool seems very much oriented towards maintenance and maintaining structural/model integrity, and it is good at that. However, to be frank, it's not very useful for new content creation at the moment, because a) it's not oriented towards data entry and b) the structural overhead would put process analysts off. In the project at hand, we are documenting existing processes and trying to capture them in EPF. There are _hundreds_ of work products, roles and tasks. Right click -> New, with a persistence call every time leading to a three second delay is just not feasible, never mind asking process managers unfamiliar with the tool to choose readable as well as internal names. They want to be able to set up their roles, tasks, etc., fast - maintaining process information is already a burden, making it harder is not a good idea from our point of view. Our users now maintain the method content in a spreadsheet, which we have written an importer for. Does the EPF project have any plans to facilitate rapid data entry? Am I describing a use case that is just not what the project is intended for (i.e. is it intended for browsing and tweaking standard processes like OpenUP)? thanks, Christian _______________________________________________ epf-dev mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/epf-dev
