Design capabilities
The Solution Designer comprises a set of dedicated tools that allow solution creators, i.e. domain experts and developers, to work together seamlessly via a shared repository to iteratively translate requirements into the design of a solution.
Main Capabilities
Search
In each page,there is a Search capability that is used to search the shown components such as namespaces, entities, properties etc. by their label, prefix or identifier.
Filtering
Custom Filters
For tables in the Solution Designer, there is a Filter capability. This capability is used to filter elements by one or more column values. You can simply choose a column, the operation and set a filter value. Also you can combine more filters. Each filter will then be added in top of the table header. You can use the Clear filters action to delete all of the filters or use the X in the filter to delete one of them.
Quick Filters
For some tables in the Solution Designer, pre-defined quick filters are available and displayed permanently above the table. These fixed filters can also be combined with additional custom filters as described above.
Table configuration
For tables in Solution Designer, there is a Table config capability. This capability is used to choose which columns should be shown in the table or to introduce an invididual sorting.
Restore to default
Each change of the table view is vizualized with an appearing capability button Restore to default. Clicking and confirming the restore will set all filters and table configuration back to the default.
Commenting
On every instance page, on the top right side, there is the Comment capability. By using this capability, you are able to see existing comments or to write new ones in the comment field and add this comment by using the Add comment capability. The comment field is mandatory. By using the Cancel capability, the comment will not be saved, and you will be redirected to the instance page.
