To manage the models in your projects, you both protect and manage the model data itself, and communicate information on the data in the form of documentation and reports.

Model Management

In managing models, you manage:

• The model files in a Microsoft JET database or (Corporate edition) in one of a range of DBMS repositories
• Model data integrity
• Development of the models in a shared, team environment
• Versions of the model, ensuring that work on different areas of the model is coordinated and synchronous rather than conflicting
• User security
• Transfer of value data and reference data between projects and models
• Changes to model data, using model auditing, Baselines and a differencing utility that enables you to roll back changes to a previous state
• Model upgrades
• Replication of models for parallel development (.EAP repositories only)
• Extensions of development with Add-Ins and the Enterprise Architect Automation Interface

You can also have recorded discussion and communication of decisions using the Project Discussion Forum.

For further information, see Model Management.

Generating Model Documentation

You can generate documentation from the components of your model, in RTF or HTML format. You can also generate a range of RTF reports on your model.

For more information, see Creating Documents.
