Are You an Enterprise Architect Modeler Searching for Solutions to Share Model Info via Links?

Introducing a simplified sharing feature for Enterprise Architect users; sharing your model details has never been easier. Users can now copy a link to their favorite artifacts and diagrams and conveniently share it with stakeholders.

Systems engineers who design systems and components, as well as similar professionals who build designs using Enterprise Architect, often face the challenge of instantly sharing diagrams with their audience. This challenge is significant, likely due to limited access to collaboration tools. 

With the new feature in Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect 17, you can easily copy and share links, enhancing your model-sharing experience.

Prerequisites

  1. Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect must be version 17 or above. 
  1. The model must be opened via cloud connection in EA. 
  1. The respective repository must be added to Prolaborate. 
  1. Users must have access to Prolaborate to view the artifacts or diagrams. 

One-Time Setup to Auto Generate Shareable Links

Open the respective model in EA via cloud connection for which you wish to generate shareable Prolaborate URL for the diagrams and artifacts, allowing modelers to share with stakeholders and directly view the objects in Prolaborate. 

Navigate to the cloud option by selecting Settings > Model > Options and click the Cloud section.

Enter the fully qualified URL of the site hosting the model in Prolaborate, including the protocol, server name or IP address and port number. For example, “https://localhost:8443”

Copy and paste the model’s repository ID from the Prolaborate repositories listing page in the Repo ID field.

After entering the details, reload the project, and the links to all diagrams and artifacts will be automatically generated.To copy the Repo ID, click More under the Actions menu of the added repository in Prolaborate and then click the Copy Repo ID.

Copy and Share – Views and Artifacts!

Once configured, you will notice something new—Shareable links are auto-generated for each diagram, element and package. These shareable links allow you to share artifact details with your audience seamlessly.

The links will be displayed to all diagrams and artifacts in the properties tab in the property name Prolaborate.

prolaborate-links

Copy the link for the respective diagram or artifact and share it with relevant stakeholders for quick feedback.

View Shared Information in Prolaborate

Clicking on the link will redirect the user to the Prolaborate login page. After logging in, the link will launch the diagram or artifact in Prolaborate, depending on your access permissions. The information will be ready for the stakeholders to view, collaborate, and modify.

From Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect to Prolaborate, this new feature simplifies how teams access and collaborate on models without disrupting your workflow.
