Content filters

Content filters restrict the information to content that is relevant to you. Objects of type Role, Location, and Application system type of the selected database are available as filter criteria. Since objects of type Application system type represent systems, for example IT systems, you can select the objects of this type under Systems.

You can add filters and activate them as content filters to further restrict this content. Content filters are available only if roles are assigned to your user in models and the Published content view has been configured for the use of role filters.

Information shown as filter criteria in the My contents area

All object of type Role, Location, and Application system type for which you have the access privilege Read in the database are listed as filter criteria.

Information not filtered by a content filter

When you open a diagram, all information is displayed unfiltered. You can also navigate using assignments.

Regardless of content filters, assignments are filtered by the hierarchy in the views. In the Classic view, all assignments are shown, because all assigned models are stored in the group structure.

In the default view, only assignments are shown that belong to the current hierarchy, for example, assignments from an object of Value-added chain diagrams (VAC) to process models like EPCs, but no assignments to organizational charts.

Item-dependent filtering

If the database is prepared, you can filter item-dependently. If you select a role or a location, the systems are filtered by either the role or the location. If you select a role and a location, the systems are filtered by both. Under System, item-dependent filtering is indicated by Filtered by.
