Get Start Tutorial - Step 10: Create View

This video titled 'Create View' provides a step-by-step guide on constructing a view within the Dragon1 platform, emphasizing the creation of filtered perspectives on existing models and visualizations.

1. Understanding Views

In Dragon1, a view acts as a filter applied to a model, allowing users to highlight specific aspects or data points. Views are essential for tailoring visualizations to different stakeholder needs.

2. Creating a View in the Collaboration Application

To create a view:

• Log in to Dragon1 and navigate to the Collaboration Application.
• Click on "View" and then select "Add View" from the top button bar.
• Enter a name for the view in the edit screen.
• Link the view to an existing visualization.
• Input an action script to define the view's behavior.
• Click "Save" to finalize the view.

For example, an action script like:

addDotObjects(owner,nonempty,green);
addDotObjects(owner,empty,red);
showAttributeAsLabel(owner);
  

This script adds green dots to objects with an 'owner' value, red dots to those without, and displays the owner's name as a label.

3. Creating a View in the Architecture Repository

Alternatively, in the Architecture Repository:

• Log in and open a cabinet.
• Select a folder and insert a new view.
• Provide a name for the view.
• In the Visual Designer, open the process model and select the new view.
• Edit data fields such as ModelID, RuleEvent, RuleCondition, RuleAction, and RuleAction2 to define the view's behavior.
• Click 'Apply' to activate the view.

4. Viewing and Testing

To see the view in action:

• Navigate to the Viewer application.
• Select the Atlas containing the linked visualization.
• Choose the visualization and click on the desired view.

This process allows users to create customized perspectives on models, enhancing the clarity and relevance of visualizations for various stakeholders.
