The "Read & Explore" Scenario

Via the "Read & Explore" scenario users can get a quick overview of architecture artefacts in ADOIT.

note

The "Read & Explore" scenario is read-only. Users have no write access to repository content (including all models and objects and their relations).

What you will see on the "Read & Explore" start page

The start page ("Home") has the following appearance:

• Start model

  A start model that provides an overview of the organisation’s enterprise architecture. Can be configured in the Administration Toolkit.

• Recently opened

  Your most recently opened models and objects. Sorted by date, with the most recent artefact placed at the top. To see additional artefacts, click Show more....

• Favourites

  Your favourite models and objects. Sorted alphabetically. To see additional artefacts, click Show more....

note

If no start model has been configured, only the Recently opened, Favourites and My Objects lists are shown on the start page.

This page has six other sections: Architecture Diagrams, Capabilities, Business Processes, Business Objects, Application Components and System Software. Use the quick links at the top of the page to access these sections.
