Title: Moving through the diagrams
Post by: ronnie on February 17, 2002, 04:14:27 pm

I seem to be a little confused in the correct method to 'realise' through the diagrams.

Don't think I'm being very clear here...

What I'm trying to get at is what is the recommended method of moving through the diagrams, linking them together?

Is there a more comprehensive example available that shows a real-world example?

In our project we hit the same problem. In order to introduce the EA model to clients or new starters I created a number of navigation screens. These are ordinary analysis or custom diagrams that have links to other pages with brief explanations. This way you can create complex navigation screens that may lead the reviewer through your design in the way it suits you without forcing them to drill through a complex workspace folder hierarchy. Create an initial diagram that will be set as the default, i.e. it will be open first upon EA start. Then place shortcuts, disclaimer and other descriptive text on the diagram.

Regards,
Michael

Thanks, hadn't really thought of that.

What I was really getting at, though is not how to guide readers of the model through it, but more how each diagram fits and links together within the system.
