Open and view nested cluster diagrams in our new frontend
July II 2024
The nested cluster diagram visualizes building blocks and their attributes as nested boxes, allowing to specify an outer and inner type and is therefore convenient for displaying one-to-many relationships as well as hierarchies.
For our new frontend we’ve added some improvements like the ability to also use dark mode to view diagrams.
A full description of this diagram type can be found here: Nested cluster diagram.
For this version, the nested cluster diagram is in read only mode. You are able to open and view reports but can’t edit them yet.
Open diagram
Nested cluster diagram reports can be opened either via the open diagram overlay or the reports page.
Open diagram overlay
The overlay shows a table of all nested cluster diagram reports available to you. These are either your own reports or reports which have been shared with you by other users.
In the dialogue you can see additional information like the author of the report as well as the last modified timestamp for each report.
If there is a long list of reports, use the filter option to search for specific reports by name.
There are two ways to open this overlay list:
Click on the nested cluster diagram tile in diagrams.
When an information flow report is already open, by clicking on the nested cluster text in the breadcrumb.
All reports page
It is also possible to open a nested cluster diagram report via the reports page: Just click on the name of the report to open it.
Tip: The reports page allows you to filter not only by name but also by all other attributes of a report. E.g., it is possible to show NCD-reports by filtering for “nested cluster” or only show reports with certain tags by filtering for the tag name.
Navigate diagram
By clicking and holding your left mouse button you can move the diagram content.
Clicking CTRL while scrolling will zoom in and zoom out.
Limitations
Be aware that for this first iteration our new frontend does not yet support every feature known to you in our previous LUY solution. These features will follow shortly.
It’s not possible to edit a nested cluster diagram.
High contrast mode isn’t supported completely.
Some filters configurations aren’t yet support (e.g., filters for the version attribute).
