New in Ilograph: Sub-sequences

Ilograph 2.1.0 is a major new release for all Ilograph environments (web, desktop, and Confluence Cloud) that adds sub-sequences to sequence perspectives.

Sub-sequences are steps-within-steps in sequence diagrams. When rendered, they appear as colored boxes that viewers can zoom in to:

A sequence perspective with four sub-sequences

Sub-sequences are great for including sub-processes and other details while keeping the bigger picture clear.

To create a sub-sequence, use the new subSequence keyword in a sequence step:

# Resource tree omitted
...
perspectives:
- name: Get Diagram
  ...
  sequence:
      start: Users
      steps:
      ...
      - subSequence:
        - name: My Sub-Sequence
          color: blue
          steps:
          - to: getIlograph
            label: Invoke
          - toAndBack: Ilographs
            label: Get metadata
          - toAndBack: Permissions
      ...

Learn more about sub-sequences in the Ilograph docs. You can also browse an example diagram with sub-sequences.
