Touching-Up a Document
If your Doc Base contains any of the following kinds of Doc Fields, you have to touch-up the document in order to export a document file from Doc. Composer.
- Doc Field with Any as source
- Doc Field with One as source
- Doc Field with LoopInElement as source
- Doc Field with LoopInDiagram as source
- ${TEXT} field
To "touch-up" a document means to select diagram(s) or model element(s), or to enter the content required by Doc Fields in a document. For example, if in a Doc Base there exist a ${TEXT} like this:
You'll have to provide the project name in Doc. Composer. Here is what you will see in Doc. Composer:

Entering a {TEXT} in Doc. Composer |
In the example above, we have entered My Project as the project name.
Another example would be the use of ${ELEMENT} field, with One as source:
This example means to output the name of a use case to the document and such a use case shall be specified in Doc. Composer. Here is how the Doc. Composer will look like when applying a Doc Base that contains such an ${ELEMENT} field.
