Add User Defined Field in Dragon1
In this video titled 'Get Started – Step 12: Add User Defined Field', you are guided through the process of creating and applying User Defined Fields (UDFs) within the Dragon1 platform. UDFs are custom attributes that enhance your architectural models by allowing you to capture specific, organization-relevant information not covered by default fields.
Key Steps Demonstrated in the Video:
- Accessing the Collaboration Application: Open the Collaboration app and select the entity class (e.g., Application, Process, Server) to which you want to add a UDF.
- Creating a User Defined Field: Go to the 'User Defined Fields' section and create a new field, specifying its name, data type (text, number, date), and default value if needed.
- Applying the UDF to Entities: Once created, the field becomes available across relevant entities, and you can input or import values into it.
- Utilizing UDFs in Visualizations: Use the UDFs to dynamically filter, color, and organize visualizations based on your custom data.
Practical Applications:
- Assigning a “Risk Level” to processes
- Indicating “Compliance Status” for applications
- Recording “Maintenance Schedules” for infrastructure components
UDFs can make your visualizations more informative and customized to your organization’s needs.
