Design a diagram of the application landscape

You can design a diagram to depict the landscape of the application you are working with. For example, you can visualize application groups including their applications, the information flows between applications, and the local components that the applications use.

When designing an application diagram, you can:

• Add applications and application groups that exist in the repository to the diagram.
• Create placeholder objects that you can then later replace with an application, application group, or information flow that is in the repository.
• Automatically add referenced local components to an application and referenced applications to an application group.
• Edit the basic attributes for a selected asset in the diagram. For example, change the application's start/end dates.
• Remove a diagram item such as an application or information flow from the diagram. You can delete an information flow from the repository that was created in the context of the diagram.
• Add shapes and other design elements (such as a legend, text, arrows, color, etc.) in order to provide additional information in the diagram.

In the data table, click the navigate  button of the application you want to define. Go to the application's content area > Diagrams > Application Landscape Diagram. You will either see a default diagram or a diagram that has been designed by a user with access permissions to the application.

To edit the design of the diagram, click the 3-dots  menu > Action > Open Diagram. The Diagram Designer opens in a new browser tab. Click for details about how to design a diagram in the Diagram Designer.
