Building Block Breakdown report
This report aims at detailing the breakdown of a root Class of Building Block object into its Class of Block Component object and emphasizing the realizing EA artifacts of each component.
• The depth of analysis can be defined,
• The types of analyzed components can be displayed or filtered out (EA dimension),
• The types of realizing items can be displayed and filter out by types (EA layers),
• The look and feel can be fine-tuned (color palette, number of displayed columns).
*For more details on use of a breakdown report, see Handling a Breakdown Report
 
Report examples 
The example below enables viewing of the functional breakdown of the functionality map specified as parameters.
*Example of functionality breakdown report.
In the example below, the applications that implement the functionalities are presented.
Another representation helps to see the capability maps fulfilled by applications.
 
Report parameters
This consists of defining report input data.
Parameters
Parameter type
Constraints
Root object
Building block
One object mandatory.
Depth level
Short
Defines the breakdown level of the business capability map or the capability entered as a parameter.
Number of columns
Short
Defines the number of columns displayed by breakdown level (for eg. 2 or 3)
Color palette
HOPEX palette

The palette delivered by default is "BoxInBox Report Monochrome Grey"
EA Level
Multiple choice:
- business function level,
- organizational level,

- technical level.
Define which objects of which type of architecture level are displayed for capability realizations;
 
For example, activation of the "applications level" displays the business capability realizations for the Application System Environment, the Application Systems or the Applications
EA dimension
Multiple choice:
- capability models,
- agent models,
- process model,
- information models,
- performance models,
- results models
Define which types of objects are examined within the framework of the breakdown analysis
 
For example, activation of "capability models" will display the business skills or functionalities required by the capabilities that are broken down
