Show and hide trace links and connections in the Architecture tab

You can hide trace links and connections so that you can focus on other diagram elements.

When an element has trace links or connections, an indicator appears on the diagram.

Click the indicator to show and hide its trace links and connections. A number appears next to the arrow to indicate how many trace links and connections it has. The indicator appears in one of four ways:

• The outgoing relations are hidden — click to show the outgoing relations.
• The outgoing relations are shown — click to hide the outgoing relations.
• The incoming relations are hidden — click to show the incoming relations.
• The incoming relations are shown — click to hide the incoming relations.

When you collapse a parent element and the child elements have trace links with elements outside the parent, these trace links end with T-lines instead of straight lines.

Note: This feature is activated by your application administrator. An administrator can configure whether these T-lines appear.

A black diamond displays if there are trace links or connections to a design.
