Configure how system modeling objects and relations appear in Architecture Modeler

To configure how System Modeling objects and relations appear in the Relation Browser:

Procedure

  1. Log in as a system administrator and check out the dataset described by the SE_diagram_legend_configuration_file_name preference. By default, the dataset is named ArchitectureModelerLegend and the named reference file is SE_Legend_Configuration.xml.

  2. Download the named reference to your local workstation and open it in an XML editor.

  3. The XML file has elements resembling:

    <ArchitectureModeler>
      <OptionPanel>
        <view name="RFLP" diagramMode="true">
          <defaultLayout>IncrementalHierarchic</defaultLayout>
          <group name="objects">
            <filter name="Requirement" parameterSet="Requirement" color="(64,100,142)"/>
          </group>
          <group name="relations">
            <filter name="Connectivity" parameterSet="Connectivity" color="(221,115,115)"/>
          </group>
          <group name="ports">
            <filter name="..."/>
          </group>
        </view>
      </OptionPanel>
    </ArchitectureModeler>
    
    • filter takes a name that matches the parameterSet name in the parameterSets section. The parameterSet defines what styling and relation types to display.
    • color: Specifies the display color of the object, relation, ports, or annotations.
    • The parameterSets section specifies the different types of objects/relations to be created for the specified object. It contains:
      • name: Name of the parameterSet element.
      • scopeFilter: Either Global (occurrence tracelink) or Context (normal tracelink).
      • styleID: Specifies the style to apply. The style is defined in another XML file — the presentation file, whose name is defined in the SE_diagram_presentation_styles_file_name preference. The ID here must match the ID in the presentation file.
      • type: Specifies the type of relation to be created.
  4. Save the additions, upload the Named Reference, and then check in the dataset.
