Documentation ARIS 7.2 APG Dialog Designer

Hi, 

Another place to find documentation which I beleive you already have looked at is \Docs\ENU\.

But having said that I strongly feel there should be more detailed video/pdf to create data flows.

Please use CTRL+Enter to have a carriage return.

Considering you have gone through the process of creating of Dialogs may be you can share your experience by creating a post describing how you create dialog. It would be really helpful for other users like me. It would be like beginners guide how to create Dialogs, Data flows, deployment of the processes in APG etc.

Thanks

Thanks Abhijit, I indeed already had a look in the documentation you mention but they only contain documentation for dataflow, modelling conventions and semantic checks and nothing about dialog designer.
I already tried CTRL-Enter (and all other logical key combinations) but that does not work and text in the label is still shown in one long line. Even if I make the label horizontally adjustable the text is still shown in one long line.
I still think some good documentation would be very welcome to fully use Dialog Designer.

Regards,

Jan

Hi,

Yes you are correct. Although you can do CTRL+ENTER to have multiline but as soon as you finish editing it reverts back to single line. I just found this from help

         The Label element consists of a single text line.      

However if you want to use multi line then plz use Info Pane. It is same like Label bute can have multi line. 

         The Info pane element has a name and several text lines that are displayed when the task is being edited, e.g. as an editing note. The executor cannot change the text.       

Hope it helps. It would be helpful for the wider community to share your experience like a beginners guide.

Thanks

Thanks Abhijti,

Infopane is indeed a better solution as it can have multiple lines.

But even in an Infopane CTRL-Enter doesn't work, the moment I insert a CTRL-Enter it does show up correctly in the Infopane but after saving the dialog all text is shown continuously again withoout a linebreak in the Infopane.

I'm giving up on this, it just doesn't work :-(

Hi,

That is interesting.

I have just tried it and it works fine even during run time (ie Show dialog).

Thanks

Abhijit Das

Interesting indeed.
What settings did you use on the Infopane (resize behavior)?
No matter how I try it, it's always shown as one long continuous text.

Thanks

Jan Roza

All four options are giving me the same effect which multiline.(no adjustment, horizontal, vertical, Horizontal and vertical).

It was designed with Horizontal but even if I changed the resize behaviour it does not change.

Strange, I have the opposite: it doesn't work with any setting.
The only difference with your example is that I have the infopane within a vertical frame (options: has border, vertical and horizontal).
Could you try if it still works if you have an Infopane in a vertical frame?

Thanks!
