Diagram Elements
For information about showing compartments on diagram symbols, setting up default view options and adding existing elements to the diagram, see the following topics:
For information about the creation and appearance of elements that can be shown on all Product diagrams (Alias, Definition, Information, Metadata, Overlap and Same As elements), see
Creation and appearance of elements that appear on all product diagrams.
To create an Architectural Description: click the
Architectural Description button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
To populate elements from an Architectural Description: add the Architectural Description to the diagram, and then populate those elements from the Architectural Description.
To create an Architectural Reference: click the
Architectural Reference button, click the source Architectural Description, and then click the destination Architectural Description.
To create an Architecture Metadata: click the
Architecture Metadata button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Define the text of the Architecture Metadata through its Full Text property.
To apply an Architecture Metadata to an Architectural Description: click the
Note Link button, click the Architecture Metadata, and then click the Architectural Description to which the Architecture Metadata applies.
To create a Capability: click the
Capability button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Maps To Capability relationships to link the Capability to Function elements that map to that Capability.
To create a Capability Configuration: click the
Capability Configuration button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Capability Configuration to the Function elements that the Capability Configuration can perform.
To create a Function: click the
Function button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Function to elements that can perform that Function. The following elements can perform a Function: Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Role Type, Service Access and Software elements.
To create a Function Action: click the
Function Action button, click the calling Function, and then click the invoked Function.
To create an Is Capable Of Performing: click the
Is Capable Of Performing button, click the source element, and then click the Function that can be performed.
The source element can be a Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Role Type, Service Access or Software element.
To create a Maps To Capability: click the
Maps To Capability button, click the Function, and then click the Capability that is mapped to.
To create an Organization: click the
Organization button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Organization to the Function elements that the Organization can perform.
To create a Physical Architecture: click the
Physical Architecture button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Physical Architecture to the Function elements that the Physical Architecture can perform.
To create a Post: click the
Post button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Post to the Function elements that the Post can perform.
To create a Resource Artifact: click the
Resource Artifact button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Resource Artifact to the Function elements that the Resource Artifact can perform.
To create a Resource Constraint: click the
Resource Constraint button, and then click in free space on the diagram. Use the Full Text property to specify the text of the Resource Constraint.
To apply a Resource Constraint to an element on the diagram: click the
Note Link button, click the Resource Constraint, and then click the element to which the Resource Constraint applies.
You can apply a Resource Constraint to Capability Configuration, Function, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Role Type, Service Access and Software elements.
To create a Role Type: click the
Role Type button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Role Type to the Function elements that the Role Type can perform.
To create a Service Access: click the
Service Access button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Service Access to the Function elements that the Service Access can perform.
To create a Service Policy: click the
Service Policy button, and then click in free space on the diagram. Use the Full Text property to specify the text of the Service Policy.
To apply a Service Policy to an element on the diagram: click the
Note Link button, click the Service Policy, and then click the element to which the Service Policy applies.
You can apply a Service Policy to Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Role Type, Service Access and Software elements.
To create a Software: click the
Software button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Use Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link the Software to the Function elements that the Software can perform.
