DNG What happened to all the old diagram types?


Sean F (1.3k252162) | asked Aug 10 '18, 8:09 a.m.
I am just reading the RM Extension API at


And it refers to the artifact types in the RM model as

Well known artifact formats

On RM.Data.Formats
Constant Meaning
TEXT An artifact that has text content
MODULE An artifact that is a module
COLLECTION An artifact that is a collection
WRAPPED An artifact that contains a wrapped binary resource, such as a PDF file or an image
SKETCH An artifact that is a user interface sketch
BUSINESS_PROCESS_DIAGRAM An artifact that is a business process diagram
PART An artifact that is a user interface sketch part
SCREEN_FLOW An artifact that is a screen flow
STORYBOARD An artifact that is a storyboard
SIMPLE_FLOW_DIAGRAM An artifact that is a flow diagram
USE_CASE_DIAGRAM An artifact that is a use case diagram


Is this list really correct since DNG only has 4 artifact base types when you go to create an artifact type (text, module, diagram and collection - I think.

I seem to remember that back in version 3.x or 4.x there really were separate artifact types for each of these diagrams. Is that correct or am I remembering that wrong?
