Rolling the mouse over the Application Architecture pane gives access to Functional Architecture and Technical Architecture. Each classification is shown as tiles, which give access to the objects they comprise (e.g.: with the Technical Architecture classification you can access Application Technical Architectures).
Breadcrumb
To share your breadcrumb (i.e. your navigation) with other users, see Sharing your breadcrumb.A breadcrumb is available on all HOPEX desktops. It keeps the last pages that you viewed so you can reopen them easily if needed. It is reset on each change of navigation page.
The breadcrumb trail is especially useful when you display an object properties from another object property pages With the breadcrumb trail you can easily return to the property pages of the first object.
For example: In the home page (Home navigation pane), you click the “Applications” tile (1). In the list of applications (2), you display the properties of an application (3). In the properties of the application, you select a Technology (4).
The breadcrumb then appears: .../Applications/<name of the application selected>/<name of the technology selected>.
