Is it possible to put a relationship matrix in a template doc?

I'm trying to include a graphical representation of a given relationship matrix (e.g. attached figure) in a document template.

Is this possible?

Solution

  • You can add the relationship matrix by selecting the section package > relationship matrix > and adding {Matrix.Image}

    This is however not recommended. In all but the most trivial cases this will result in an unreadable relationship matrix. It looks ugly and is useless.

    A better idea is to create an SQL fragment and put the required info into a table. It isn't quite the same as a matrix, as you you only have a fixed number of columns, but you can at least convey the information in a readable (and searchable) way that looks professional.
