Can anyone tell me if there is a way in ARIS reporting to display a total or count of the objects in a model? We have a report that lists all applications from a model, and I would like to put a total count at the end of the report, but I cannot find a way to do this. Thanks.

Hi Lisa,
the method "ObjOccList ( )" returns all object occurrences in the model. The source code below gives you the count of the objects:
var oObjOccs = oModel.ObjOccList();
var counter = oObjOccs.length;
//.......
NOTE: This source code count all objects, also connectors. If you only want special objects you can use this methode:
var ospecialObjOccs = oModel.ObjOccListFilter(Constants.OT_FUNC);
var counter = ospecialObjOccs.length;
//......
Thank you Eva - I am not very familiar with Javascript. I added the 2 lines but I get a syntax error due to oModel not being defined. Not sure if I am placing the code in the wrong place or if I need addtional source code to define oModel...?
Yes you must define "oModel". I give you an example below:
var oModels = ArisData.getSelectedModels();
// your source code
//......
counter(oModels);
function counter(oModels){
for (var i=0;i<oModels.length;i++){
var oModel = oModels[i];
var oObjOccs = oModel.ObjOccList();
var ospecialObjOccs = oModel.ObjOccListFilter(Constants.OT_FUNC);
var counter = ospecialObjOccs.length;
//.....
}
}
make sure you join the Reports & Macros group. There you will find additional tutorials and a list of free ARIS reports and macros, that will help you to find an easy way to the ARIS Scripting world:-).
