Description Curtis d'Entremont CLA 2004-06-17 11:01:47 EDT
If one of our viewers is opened and there is no data to show, we don't really 
explain very well why this is so, and what the user can do to show data. We 
need to customize these messages for each view, explaining exactly why there is 
no data, and the steps needed to get this kind of data.

Also, we should investigate using more inclusive default profiling sets. Users 
are complaining that they can't figure out how to get data in their views, and 
they don't know that they have to edit the sets.

I am renaming this bug since customizing the error message is not the only 
solution, and maybe not the most desirable one. The problem we're trying to 
solve here is that new users don't understand why their sequence diagrams are 
always empty. They don't know that they have to edit the profiling set. So - 
the new proposed solution is to add a new profiling set with all the execution 
flow turned on, including the graphical views.

This has been documented already, but, for accounting purposes, can u please add
the Documentation keyword?  thanx.

Verified with latest name change to "Execution History - Full Graphical 
Detail". Closing bug.
