Viewing Diagram Thumbnails
Displaying a diagram thumbnail
You can display the diagrams of described objects within a diagram. The objects are displayed in the form of thumbnails, which you can be enlarged.
To display the diagrams of the described objects:
1. Right-click an object described by a diagram.
2. In the Graphic element sub-section of its pop-up menu, select Display the diagram describing the object.
The corresponding diagram replaces the object.
You can enlarge the objects to make the thumbnails easier to read.
To go back to the initial display, right-click the object and deselect the check box next the the Display describing diagram menu. Launching the exploded diagram report
Report presentation
This report enables to build a summary view of a hierarchy of diagrams within a diagram.
It consists in opening the diagram of each object to include it in the diagram describing the root object.
The diagrams which describe the objects mentioned in the source diagram are displayed recursively, so that several diagramming may appear.

Accessing the report
Depending on the solution used, several means are available to access this report, for example:
1. Right-click the root object and select Documentation > Report Discovery.
2. Unfold the folder “Platform tools” to launch the report.
Report parameters
Input data of this report is specified by the selection of:
• A root object diagram
• Diagrams to be included and to display
Parameters | Constraints |
|---|---|
Root object | One object is mandatory |
Root diagram | Diagram associated with the root object |
Diagrams to be included | Diagram(s) describing a tree object of diagram > object in diagram > description > object in diagram > … type which is offered from the root diagram |
Ratio | Defines the zoom factor applied to the diagram (by default equal to 1) - 0<ratio<1 : the diagram is smaller than the reference size - ratio>1 : the diagram is bigger than the reference size The reference size is defined in the option “The ratio is relative to the open object”. |
The ratio is relative to the open object | This check box enables to define whether the ratio applies to the size of: - the diagram to include (check box unchecked) - the object in the root diagram (check box checked) Examples: - Check box unchecked and ratio of 0.5: the diagram included is twice smaller than the source diagram. - Check box checked and ratio of 1.0: the sub-diagram is the same size as the object of the root diagram. |
Insert border | Deactivated by default Enables to insert a border around the sub-diagram included. This can be useful if for example the sub-diagram does not already contain a border around the described object. |
Recompute links | Deactivated by default Enables to reroute all links which go to or from an opened object to the appropriate target in the sub-diagram (e.g. an interaction to or from the object may trigger a service point or be triggered by a request point in the sub-diagram); if deactivated, the lines from the top diagram remain as they were in the original position. |
