Managing Specialized Views
MEGA Architecture allows you to restrict or extend the range of concepts that you want to feature in a diagram.
You can build very comprehensive diagrams by superimposing specialized layers as with tracings:
layers that concern software-related objects (sites, applications, databases, etc.)
layers that present org-units using the applications
layers that complete representation with computer equipment used.
To select the appropriate display mode:
*In the diagram toolbar, select Views and Details .
By default, the display only shows the drawing objects and the standard view of the current diagram (the basic concepts and the links between them)..
To extend the field of concepts used in a diagram:
*In the Views and Details dialog box, select the views that correspond to the required extensions.
To restrict the view:
*In the Views and Details dialog box, clear the view that corresponds to the specialized view.
This allows you to avoid displaying objects you no longer need to see in the specialized view. The objects removed and their links with other objects remain memorized by MEGA Architecture. They can be displayed later in the same location by reselecting the corresponding view.
For example, to be able to represent the org-units of the travel agency and the working processes, as well as the server supporting the agency applications and databases, check the Org-Units, Servers and Workstations check boxes.
The corresponding icons appear in the objects toolbar.
