set a default for the collapsed state of relationships [message #38516]

Hi Everybody
I just detected a new feature in the EPF 1.2 Version:"Process Usage"
The Benefit is that you are able to the processes in which for example
Work Product appear but the disadvantage is that for widely used Work
Products this row grows fat and moves down the some information defined in
the "main description" to the far away bottom of the table.
It would be nice if we could re-arrange the sequence of "relationships"
and "main description" or set a default for the collapse-state (i.e.
releationships are closed/collapsed), so just appears as one line.
Is this possible, I didn't find a function in EPF yet that supports this.
I try to avoid a solution like to put the info of the "main description "
into the purpose box because it is reserved to answer the questions "Why
do we need this? What does it help?"
Does anyone have a solution here?
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards
Abdelilah Echchad

Yep - I have the same problem - relationship section takes up the whole
visible portion of the screen, the user has to scroll down to get to the
main description :(

And a solution : change the js scripts
In <1.2 versions that was the contentpage.js
I yet have to 'implement' it in 1.2 but a quick scan tells me it is
probably in contentpagesection.js I'll have to look

Arguable not the best solution ... since I have to re-do the work with
every new version of epf

Hello Abdelilah.
Setting the collapse state cannot currently easily be done. Would be a good
enhancement, though. I will file that.

To change the order of the sections however, you could change the style
sheets in this plugin folder

\plugins\org.eclipse.epf.library\layout\xsl

Best regards,
Peter.
