[Feature Request] #852

Closed mtaylo closed 2 years ago

mtaylo commented 2 years ago

I would like to be able to select an object (or multiple objects) within a view, then using the context menu request that any linked objects (Constrained by object type ideally) that exist in the model are added to the view, near to the selected object with links visible. I have worked with similar systems in the past and this is a useful way to build up a view / explore an architecture model and would save time in constructing views where a model already exists. (In my case, I use MS Access DB to extract SharePoint lists, convert to CSV and import into Archi) I wonder if this is possible to achieve with a Jarchi script.

Example - As a starting point, I select a capability and explore this for any linked business services. I then explore all services for processes, then processes for linked applications.

I think it should be possible. Take a look through existing scripts for some ideas:
