Modelio lets you create rich notes. These rich notes can be MS Office documents or OpenDocuments (LibreOffice or OpenOffice).
Creating a rich note
Steps:
-
Select the element you want to add a rich note to.
-
In the "Notes & constraints" view, click on the "Add rich note" button. The "Create a rich note" window then appears.
-
In the "Create a rich note" window, give the note a name by clicking in the "Rich note name" field and then entering the name of the note.
-
In the "Rich note role" field, choose a role from the list.
-
In the "MIME format" field, choose a format from the list.
-
Finally, add a short description of your note in the "Abstract" field.
-
Click on OK to create the rich note.
Note: In case Modelio cannot find automatically the OpenDocuments editor (LibreOffice or OpenOffice), check the LibreOffice/OpenOffice Rich Notes settings in Modelio settings.
The rich note editor
Note: MS Office rich notes are saved using the second 
button in the Modelio toolbar
Create a template for new rich notes
You can create a default file for each role name. These files should be stored in the .projectdata/admin/documents directory.
The template file can be named:
-
role-name.mime-type.dat like file
-
role-name.dat like file.
All invalid characters in a file name in the document type and MIME type are replaced by '_' when the file is searched for. Invalid characters are [ : \ / * ? | < > ].
