What is highlighting?

Highlighting is the visual emphasis of model content. If you have switched highlighting on, model items are colored and marked by criterion indicators based on the criteria you selected.

This description is based on the standard configuration. Please note that your system may be configured differently, so that different attributes and values are relevant.

Highlight criteria

If you switched highlighting on, all highlighting categories such as Function and Status (CMA) are listed. You can expand the categories to show its criteria. Furthermore, you can activate the check box of every single criterion.

Highlight all

Every criterion has a criterion indicator that is shown in the model if the criterion is activated. Activities, for example, have the criterion indicator A. In the Highlighting bar, the number of occurrences is displayed behind the criteria. In the image above, activities occur twice (criterion indicator A), objects with the Change Management status Not assigned (criterion indicator N) only once. Note that in the example above, two object symbols have the N criterion indicator, although 1 is shown for the Not assigned criterion. The reason for this is that these object symbols are occurrence copies of one and the same object.
