New in Ilograph: Embedded Perspectives
Ilograph 2.0.1 is a major new release for all Ilograph environments (web, desktop, and Confluence Cloud) that adds the following enhancements:
Embedded perspectives
Perspectives can now be directly embedded in other perspectives. When embedded, perspectives appear as boxes showing the perspective in minature, and users can expand an embedded perspective to browse it:
To embed a perspective, reference it by name (with the Perspective:: prefix) anywhere you would a resource. Perspectives can be embedded in both relational and sequence perspectives.
perspectives: - name: My Perspective relations: ... - from: Resource A to: Perspective::PerspectiveName
Embedded perspectives are especially handy for showing sub-processes in sequence diagrams:
Learn more about embedded perspectives in the docs.
“none” value in sequence perspectives
Diagram authors can now use the special value “none” in sequence diagrams. This causes control to pass to (or, in the case of start, originate from) an off-screen resource:
In the above sequence diagram, “none” is used for the start value and the final step, resulting the sequence starting and ending off screen. The YAML of this sequence would look like so:
perspectives: - name: My Perspective sequence: start: "none" steps: - to: Ingest Workflow label: Invokes ... - to: "none" label: Invoke with GUID
“none” can be used as a value for start and any of the step properties (to, toAndBack, toAsync, restartAt).
Happy Diagramming! If you have questions or comments, please reach out to me on LinkedIn or by email at billy@ilograph.com.
