Improvements

Add custom color rules to diagrams. A diagram view is a configuration that allows users to superimpose qualitative information in diagrams. With this release, custom diagram views can be created in order to specify color rules for applications displayed in Application Landscape Diagram and Information Flow Diagram views. Standard and custom diagram views can be selected by users in the Diagram Views filter and the associated color rules will be applied to the applications in the diagram.

To modify your solution configuration, a Create button has been added to the Configuration > Reference Data > Diagrams View page available via the Portfolio Admin user profile. The administrative user can create a diagram view of Type = Application, specify the user profiles that shall have permission to the diagram view, and select the color rules that shall apply to the diagram view. All standard color rules as well the color rules your enterprise has configured can be specified. A color rule can target one property (example: Architecture Type ) to color all values of the selected property, or the color rule definition can include one selected value of a property (example: Client-Server) to color only applications with those values.

Show application attributes in information flow diagrams. The attributes Name, Short Name, Version, and Object State can be visualized on the applications displayed in Information Flow Diagram views. To show this information, a custom diagram view should be created for the class Application and a diagram view item based on the default Extended FastLane Item must be created in the Diagram View Items view of the new diagram view.

Visualize information flow short names. If a short name has been specified for an information flow, users can select Short Name in the Information Flow Attributes filter field in the Information Flow Diagram view to superimpose the short name on the information flow. In the Application Landscape Diagram views, the short names of information flows can be visualized by selecting Short Name in the Connection Attributes field.

For the sake of consistency, all of the main reports for business questions will have a Clear All button as will any other reports with 3 or more filter fields available in the filter panel. Reports with less than 3 filter fields will not have a button to clear filters since these can be easily cleared individually.

The Rest API access for Read and Write has been enabled for the class Information Flow. A new RAPI_InformationFlow report is available for export of data via Rest API.
