ERwin Wish List Item - Subject Area Selection
Creating the proverbial Enterprise Data Model is an awe inspiring job...not for the faint of heart. Good tools make this job so much easier. Computer Associates AllFusion Modeling Suite provides a very feature full data modeling tool to help simplify the process. However, with every tool set...comes a list of wish items to improve the process. Today's item that I would like to see added? The "Select all entities associated to Subject Area" Feature.
What I want: I want to be looking at the "Main Subject Area" and have a feature that allows me to select a given Sub-Subject Area (customer subject area, product subject area, etc) and then have all of the entities in that sub-subject area be highlighted on this main subject area.
The perceived benefits of this feature: Large Model Navigation, Large Model Organization Maintenance.
By allowing be to ask that a certain sub-subject area is highlighted, would allow me to see if I have color coded each of the entities the same. It might also help me find rogue entities that are not grouped with like entities.
I would like to be able to 'Mass Assign' them a certain color. Hmm...but that sounds like a second wish item for the ERwin developers!
