I am experimenting with the Explorer diagram, and currently have two collections with different object reports returning items of the same type, and in some cases, the same object instances. However, when the second object report is run I get a 'Duplicate Items Not Dropped' error, and the duplicates are not added to the diagram. Does anyone know if there is any way to allow duplicate items to be added to an explorer diagram, or if there is a relatively simple way of building a more customised solution that does essentially the same thing?

You could try switching the duplicate check off :-

Tools > Preferences

In the dialog there is an option 'Duplicate Check' - uncheck this.

Thanks
Ian

I had already though of that, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Also, the error is not displayed as a dialog box like the standard duplicate symbol error - when I refresh the collection I get a new error window created, with contents similar to the following... "The following were already present on the diagram and so were not dropped: Solution Building Block Definition "SBB1" (Identity: 265) Solution Building Block Definition "SBB2" (Identity: 320) Solution Building Block Definition "SBB3" (Identity: 904) Solution Building Block Definition "SBB4" (Identity: 908) Total dropped: 3 Total not dropped: 4 (duplicates) Regards, Lee.

Hi

I see the warning about the symbol not being dropped, but the symbol IS actually dropped.
If you press CTRL-F to find the symbols you will see 2 symbols.

If you are not seeing this behaviour please can you let me know which version of SA you are using.

Thanks
Ian

Hi
I must have been testing something differently.
I can now see what you mean.

I believe that duplicates are not possible on this diagram to facilitate the automatic
connection of relationship lines. I guess it could get quite messy if there were multiple
copies of the same item on the diagram, related to other items.

However I can also see a point of view which says that having a diagram with just collections (groups)
and some contained items, where you want duplicates in the different groups would be nice.

I can see no way to get around this behaviour at present.
You could raise an enhancement request if you feel strongly that this behaviour should be offered.

Sorry I can't help more
Ian
