Available view options

You can change the view of all model types. For every model type at least the layout options Horizontal and Vertical are available.

The view options displayed depend on the type of model. The view options of model type EPC, for example, differ from those of a model of type Enterprise BPMN collaboration or of type Customer journey map.

Group and Layout options can be combined with the selected view. If a view based on the current option settings cannot be generated, the indication No diagram available is shown in the modeling area.
