A template defines how a requirement or use case appears in a Word document.
A template defines which properties (stereotype properties, stereotype fields) of an Innovator requirement or use case are visible for the Word user and how it is formatted.
Innovator Office Integration contains predefined templates for requirements and use cases.
All other templates in Innovator Office Integration are stereotype-specific in an Innovator model. These templates are stored as attachments to the stereotype in the model's configuration. They must be defined by the model administrator (see "Creating a Template").
The available templates are dependent on the source selected in the Elements tab in the Innovator for Microsoft Word tool window.
Fields in templates have one of the following field types which are automatically selected depending on the Innovator model configuration:
-
Simple text
These fields can be multi-lined depending on configuration of the Innovator model. It is possible to format the contents of these fields in Word but format changes are not stored in the Innovator model.
-
Formatted text
Most changes made to the format of these fields are stored in the Innovator model. Not all Word formatting options are supported by Innovator Office Integration.
-
Multiple check boxes
These fields are shown as drop-down lists in Word.
-
Boolean term
These fields are shown as drop-down lists in Word and contain two options.
-
Numeric
-
Reference Section
These fields cannot be modified in the Word document. They show all a requirement's model references to other elements in the model.
You need to select the whole field if you want to format its content, e.g. font size, style; do this by clicking on the tab with the field's name and applying the formatting.
