  • dragon1 toggleobjects example validateObjects(query,attribute,value, match percentage)vailidate if the objects that match the query, correctly match the query. See below for example queries.
    Details Example
  • Description

    class: Type: string. Optional. The name of the class to find.
    attribute: Type: string. The name of the attribute to find.
    value: Type: string. The name of the value to match.

    Example 1
    Hide all objects that have an attribute tags with value outdated. hideObjects(application,tags,outdated);

    Example 2
    Hide all objects that have an attribute tags with value outdated. HideObjects(tags,outdated);

    Example

  • dragon1 toggleobjects example reportObjects(query,jsonobjectarray, match percentage, attribute,value) report in json a list of objects that match the query, josn objectarray, and or attribute values.

  • Description

    class: Type: string. Optional. The name of the class to find.
    attribute: Type: string. The name of the attribute to find.
    value: Type: string. The name of the value to match.

    Example 1
    Hide all objects that have an attribute tags with value outdated. hideObjects(application,tags,outdated);

    Example 2
    Hide all objects that have an attribute tags with value outdated. HideObjects(tags,outdated);

    Example

  • dragon1 toggleobjects example queryObjects(query,actions)query can be a statement to identify a type of object or to identify relationships of two related types of object. Example: queryObjects(source.object.version=3,fill:cyan); This will color every shape cyan if the value for version is 3. actions can be fill:, stroke:, color:, hide, show. Example 2: queryObjects(source.object.version=3 AND target.object.application=SalesForce,stroke:cyan); This will color any relationship between the two identified types of objects cyan.

    Example

Example

Suppose, we want to recognize data sharing opportunities in a hospital.

The method storeObjects we use to store health care related databases, data objects, applications, departments, processes and tasks, in the repository. For instance: the tasks Monitoring Physical Changes of Patient, Bathing Patient and Assess Patient’s Health Improvements and the departments Nursing, Dietary and Rehabilitation. And the data objects Patient, Guest and Client.

The method learnObjects we use to label objects in the repository that match for a certain percentage the provided object attributes. For instance, labeling patient, guest and client as patient objects and as medical records.

The following color names are supported:

  • red
  • green
  • orange
  • blue
  • yellow
  • purple
  • pink
  • cyan
  • black
  • purple
  • darkblue
  • darkred
  • fuchsia

For instance the action script field of a visualization or view.

The methods can be used in a chain separated with a ;

The Dragon1 API Action Script methods can also be used in any web application via a reference to dragon1.js.

The method can have various contexts:

  • the whole repository - we prefix a class with r.
  • a single cabinet - we prefix a class with c[name]. or c[id]. for a specific cabinet or c. for all cabinets.
  • a single model - we prefix a class with m[name]. or m[id]. for a specific model or m. for all models.
  • a single atlas - we prefix a class with a. for the current atlas
  • a single visualization - we prefix a class with v. for the current visualization.

If you use the method without context indication the current visualization is used.

Example of using the context of a repository:
repository.prepareObjects( *.owner= unknown, tag, incomplete); or r.prepareObjects( *.owner= unknown, tag, incomplete);

This means that all objects without an owner will be tagged as incomplete.

Configure Action Script in the Repository

To enter the action script:

  • Go to the Data Dashboard of the Collaboration Application
  • Select Visualizations or Views or Principles
  • Select a Visualization, View or Principle
  • Click Edit
  • Enter the action script in the Action Script filed
  • Click Save.
  • Go to the Viewer and check the Visualization.

Add Button with Actions

Use showButton or showButtonbar to link the actionscript to buttons.

Configure Action Script in the Viewer

  • In the Viewer, click on the Edit button after a view.
  • Change the Name, Text and Action Script.
  • Click OK.

Query examples

Here are examples queries of applications, processes and applications that are used by processes:

  • query example 1: r.process.owner = unknown - this query collects all processes from the repository without a value for the owner attribute
  • query example 2: a.application.platform = microsoft - this query collects all applications in the current atlas that have Microsoft as value for the platform attribute
  • query example 3: application.tag = duplicate - this query collects all applications in the current visualization that have duplicate as value for the tag attribute
  • query example 4: externalsources[0] = 'https://www.dragon1.com/downloads/docmgt_export.json'; externalsources[0].process.id = r.process.id and externalsources[0].process.documentlink = unknown - this query collects all processes present in the repository that in an external system seem to have no link to a document
  • query example 5: externalsources[0] = 'https://www.dragon1.com/downloads/crm_export.json'; externalsources[0].contract.expirydata > today and externalsources[0].contract.applicationname = r.application.name - this query collects all applications present in the repository that in an external system seem to have an expired contract.
  • query example 1: relationship.sourceclass = process,application and relationship.targetclass = application, process and relationship.type = association, flow
