Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases you will run into trouble when you want to use the standard function of Doors to create a traceability for a depth of 2 that is not going into the same direction. To solve this problem the implementation of an own Layout DXL is necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The example below shows the situation with depth 2 and the same Linkmodule in which you can use the standard function to create a Layout DXL column:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/defs><\/path><\/path>
Linkmodule 1<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>Linkmodule 1<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/ellipse>
A<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>A<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/path><\/path>
Linkmodule 1<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>Linkmodule 1<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/ellipse>
B<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>B<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/ellipse>
C<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>C<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/g><\/svg>\n\n\n\n

The next situation, which is not possible to master with the standard doors function, shows the problem where depth two with two different direction and link module types gives the needed traceability information for the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/defs><\/rect><\/path><\/path>
Linkmodule 1<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>Linkmodule 1<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/ellipse>

B<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>B<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/ellipse>
C<\/div><\/div><\/foreignObject>C<\/text><\/switch><\/g><\/path><\/path>

Approach – Ansatz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To get the needed traceability information within a module, you can add a layout dxl column by clicking on the column header of the current selected view in the module and add a layout DXL column. This layout DXL column can iterate through the outgoing modules of the current object, catch all objects that are linked and look for incoming links on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
