The "Design & Document" Scenario
The purpose of the "Design & Document" scenario is to let you design your services and architectures and to plan your initiatives.
What you will see on the "Design & Document" start page
The start page has the following appearance:
Banner: The perfect place for an image that represents your organisation. Can be configured in the ADOIT Administration.
Recently opened: Your most recently opened models and objects. Sorted by date. To see additional artefacts, click Show more....
Favourites: Your favourite models and objects. Sorted alphabetically. To see additional artefacts, click Show more....
My Objects: A compact list of all repository objects for which you are responsible. Grouped by type and sorted alphabetically. To see additional objects, click Show more.... For a more detailed dashboard of your objects, go to Analyse
> Dashboards > My
Objects.
View your most recently opened models and objects as well as your favourites as thumbnails or a
list. You can easily switch between the two layouts using the
Show list and
Show tiles icons.
If custom images have been uploaded for specific ArchiMate elements, they will appear as thumbnails, replacing the standard icons for those elements.
