Filter by dependency

[Mats Gejnevall]

I love the filter by dependency function. We use it to show what processes are using which applications and what infrastructure is used by which applications. It works wonders in presentations. But when we expanded our architecture models to process models and application collaboration models, it does not look that great any more. The information flows between processes and between applications are also shown when I filter.

I would like to be able to select which relations I filter on in the relationship filter. There seems to be a box there in V17, but you cannot enter anything into it; like a sterotype name or relationships name (e.g. dependency).

Thanks

The search box for the filter in v13 allows filtering on the name, alias, phase etc. (ie. The other items in the combo box)

There's certainly room for it to be used with connector types, but the exact flow would need more thought.

For my purpose it would be enough to be able to filter on one type of relationship (e.g. Dependency). That would give the functionality needed, since the relation between object of the same type is InformationFlow.

Another way would be to filter on a list of stereotype relations, Since I have stereotyped all my relations (so I can use compartments when I need to print them or show them in a presentation) I could set upp that list and only show the objects that have these relations with these stereotypes. Clicking on one object would show all other objects with a stereotyped relation (from the list) to the selected object.
