Cross-reference table paragraphs
Cross-reference table paragraphs
Description A cross-reference table paragraph generates a cross-reference
table in a Document report. In a cross-reference table, each row
represents an object, as does each column. At the intersection of
each row and column, FrameWork places an indicator if the row
object is connected to the column object through a particular
function.

For a cross-reference table paragraph, you need to specify:
■ A focus object (or metamodel class) and content function for the
rows. The row objects are the ones that result from evaluating
the row content function on the row focus object.
■ A focus object (or metamodel class) and content function for the
columns. The column objects are the ones that result from
evaluating the column content function on the column focus
object.
■ A cross-reference content function. This is the function
FrameWork checks to see whether the row objects and column
objects are connected to each other. FrameWork marks the
intersection of connected objects with the cross-reference
indicator you assign to the cross-reference content function.
The cross-reference indicator can be any character string.
In a generated Document report, cross-reference tables have
headings of the form:
The Cross-Reference Table Function is "cross-ref-assigned-func"
Cross-ref-assigned-func is the name of the association end,
attribute, or query assigned to the cross-reference content function.
