Model Based Perspective Sets

Custom Views Through Model Perspectives.

Tailor the user interface to your specific use cases with Enterprise Architect 17’s new ‘Model Perspectives’ technology. Configuring the tool to simplify and focus on your team’s priorities has never been easier.

This powerful feature allows you to model your desired interface and automatically generate configurations, applying them seamlessly to the tool. Users can now create and publish custom views directly from diagrams, offering an efficient modeling environment tailored to your organization’s unique needs.

Multiple perspectives can be easily modeled, providing a comprehensive outlook that enhances overall productivity.

The ‘Model Perspectives’ technology offers:

• Model Patterns: Using the pre-defined patterns, effortlessly model the customized views based on specific security profiles.
• Model Perspectives Toolbox: Access ready-to-use patterns, including technology set patterns, ribbon category elements, ribbon group attributes, and security group elements.   
  • Internal Perspective Stereotype: Allows security groups to access both existing and model-based perspectives.
• Publish and Import Commands: Easily publish or import a package as a Model perspective using the new ‘Publish Perspective’ icon in the Specialize menu ribbons.
• Extend Technologies: Personalize and enhance existing technologies by modifying the predefined workspace to meet unique project requirements. 
• Role-Specific Perspectives: Create focused user interfaces that enhance productivity by aligning tools with the specific needs of different security groups.
• Instant Activation:  A single click is all it takes to instantly activate changes, modifying each user’s UI based on their security group.  
• Seamless Integration: Incorporate new custom interfaces smoothly into your existing workflow, reducing the learning curve and increasing efficiency.
