Video Create Visualization

This video titled 'Get Started - Step 5: Create Visualization' offers a comprehensive walkthrough for creating visualizations within the Dragon1 platform. It emphasizes the importance of visualizations in representing models and views, facilitating better understanding and communication of enterprise architectures.

Types of Visualizations

Static Visualizations: These are manually created by dragging and dropping shapes onto the canvas. Users can assign names and attributes to these shapes, allowing straightforward representations without dynamic data linkage.

Dynamic Visualizations: These are linked directly to models and views within the repository. As underlying data changes, the visualization updates automatically, ensuring real-time accuracy and relevance.

Creating a Visualization

1. Navigate to the Visual Designer.
2. Open a cabinet, expand a dossier, and select a folder in the Explorer Treeview.
3. Insert a new visualization via the Insert menu.
4. Assign a name and save the visualization, which creates an empty canvas.
5. Drag shapes from the shapes panel onto the canvas.
6. For dynamic visualizations, link shapes to models or views by setting properties like viewid and entityclass.
7. Enhance interactivity by adding properties such as sourceurl for images or videos, and linkurl for navigation.
8. Save and publish the visualization to make it accessible in the Viewer.

Interactive Features

Incorporating clickable links, mouse-over popups, and embedded media, visualizations can be interactive. This interactivity enhances user engagement and provides deeper insights into the represented data.
