Using properties pages
The structure of the property pages of the objects used in the HOPEX IT Architecture solution is often the same. This section introduces the most common pages.
Displaying the properties window on a permanent basis
You can choose to display the property windows in HOPEX on a permanent basis so as to view immediately the properties of an object.
To display the properties window on a permanent basis:

HOPEX IT Architecture properties pages content
HOPEX IT Architecture provides properties pages available for several solutions.
Using the facilities described in the HOPEX Power Studio guide, you can customizing the properties pages of your solution.The pages below are common to main HOPEX IT Architecture objects.
• the Components pages provide access to the list of components of the described object defined in the different diagram types.
• the Components > Scenario page provides access to the list of components of the described object defined in its flow scenarios.
For more information on a scenario of flow, see Using a Scenario Sequence Diagram.• the Components > Structure page provides access to the list of components of the described object in its structure diagrams.
For more details on components of a structure diagram, see Creating an Application Structure Diagram• the Components > Technical Architectures page provides access to the list of components of the described object in its technical architecture diagrams.
For more information on the components of a technical architecture diagram, see Creating an Application Technical Architecture Diagram.• the Use pages provide access to the information relating to the use contexts of the the described object in different types of diagrams.
• the Usage > Scenario page provides access to the list of elements that use the described object in their flow scenarios.
For more information on a scenario of flow, see Using a Scenario of Application Flows Diagram.• the Usage > Structure page provides access to the list of elements that use the described object in their structure diagram.
For more information on the components of an application structure diagram, see Creating an Application Structure Diagram.• the Usage > Impact Report (Structure) page is used to analyze the impact of the failure of the described object on the elements that use it or on the applications or application systems with which it interacts via exchange contracts as described in the structure diagrams that use the described object.
For more details, see "Impact report (Structure)", page 186.• the Usage > Impact Report (Scenario) page is used to analyze the impact of the failure of the described object on the application systems, applications or application services with which it exchanges application flows in the context of the scenario of use of the described object.
For more details, see "Impact report (Scenario)", page 184.• The KPI Dimension page provides access to performance indicators connected to the described object.
For more details on managing key indicators, see "Using KPIs", page 58. • the Performed Process page provides access to the application processes executed by the described object.
For more details on system processes, see Describing Application Processes.• the Service and Request Points page specifies the services expected or delivered by the described object.
For more details, see Describing Service and Request Points.• the Assignment page is used to specify the managers of the described object.
• The Reports page provides access to the reports available for the described object.
