Sharing, Exporting, and Reporting on DiagramsLocate this document in the navigation structure

PowerDesigner Web provides various ways of sharing your diagrams through links, as images, by printing, and generating reports.

Click the Menu button and select:
  • Share Link - to obtain a shareable link to the diagram or object.
  • Print Diagram - to prepare the diagram for printing through your browser's Print function. You can specify to shrink the diagram to a single page or have PowerDesigner fit it to an optimum number of pages.
  • Export Diagram Image - to save the diagram as an SVG image.
  • Generate PDF Report/Generate Word Document - to generate a standard report from the diagram. Reports are available for the following diagram types:

    • BPMN Descriptive and Executable process diagrams - Reports include the diagram image and list alphabetically the activities and intermediate events, gateways, and start and end events contained in the diagram.

      Each object displays its Name, Code, Comment, Description, and Annotation (if they are set), along with any other standard properties that have been set, and a list of any business rules associated with it. Any sub-diagrams are also reported on, along with the objects that appear in them.

    • Process maps - Reports include the map image and list the following objects appearing in the map:
      • Architecture Areas
      • Business functions
      • Processes

      Each object displays its Name, Code, Comment, Description, and Annotation (if they are set) and a list of any business rules associated with it. Any sub-maps are also reported on, along with the processes that appear in them.

    Note Reports are not presently configurable and do not support reporting on custom properties.
