Automatically tab

You can analyze interrelationships between database items automatically. Even if you don't know the database you can find all of the related items as simply as putting together a route in your route planner.

<Start item of the analysis path>

Name of the start item. If you are using several analysis paths nested in an analysis, you can navigate to the subpaths with the arrow keys.

Start

Starting point of the analysis. This is the item that you started the analysis from. If you did not start the analysis context-related, for example, via the New tab, this box is empty.

Start items can be groups, objects, or models. They are mapped with the following symbol. Subordinate analysis paths also begin with a start object.

Start item

If you move the mouse over a symbol, you receive information about the item.

You can reduce the number of subsequent analysis items by filtering the outgoing connections.

Intermediate steps

Add inserts a step in the analysis path. In addition to definitions and occurrences of database items you can also select model types, object types, and symbol types.

If you click Filter Filter, you can define that only items with certain attributes are displayed.

Filtered intermediate steps are indicated with a filter symbol in the Intermediate steps box.

If you click Delete Delete, the step is removed from the Intermediate steps box.

Target

End point of the analysis.

Targets can be groups, objects, or models, as well as model types, object types, and symbol types. Targets are mapped with the following symbol.

Target

If you move the mouse over a symbol you receive information about the item.

A list of results is generated for each target and a slider is inserted.

List of the found items that are related to one another. The number displays the number of occurrences in the graphic. You can show and hide the list by clicking on the title.

The result is structured by method. You can expand the bullets Left arrow to display the items.

If you select a bullet, all of the items classified there are selected in the graphic. You can also select individual items.

With the list of results you can, for example, navigate to less relevant items and hide them.

The slider changes the scope of the related analysis items.

If you inserted three intermediate steps in addition to the start and target and set the slider back one step, the last intermediate step is removed and the analysis is run again. If an analysis does not produce results, you can move the slider step by step to the right until a result is displayed.

If you analyze the relationship of certain people to functions based on an organizational chart, you must move the slider at least one step to the right because functions cannot have occurrences in an organizational chart.

If you click Filter Filter, you can define that only items with certain attributes are displayed. Filtered targets are indicated with a filter symbol in the Target box.

The Add icon inserts a further target into the analysis path.

If several targets are displayed, you can remove targets you do not need from the analysis path with the Delete Delete button.
