Description
Views Advanced current links information section

The Current links information section provides the drop-down list of containers that are loaded onto the view canvas. You can select the container from the list, and see the links details in the Current links information section itself without navigating to the view canvas.

To access the drop-down list, complete the following steps:
1. Open the view in edit mode.
2. Right-click the container, and then click Show current links information.
    The drop-down list for container is displayed.

The container drop-down list displays container name with the container Id. It helps you to distinguish between two containers of same artifact type.

Customized count and percent UI types

ENI provides separate UI types, such as Count and Percent for all the artifacts. For each node definition, you can see separate count and percent UI type. With these UI types, you can:

  • Modify the node definition that contain different properties, such as width, height, fill color, stroke, and radius. You can use these properties to change the appearance of the node.
  • Apply the conditional formatting to change the appearance of nodes when the represented artifacts meet the defined conditions.
To access these UI types, complete the following steps:
1. Open the view in edit mode.
2. Right-click the container, and then click Edit node.
    In the Nodes dialog box, two separate tabs for Count UI Type and Percent UI Type are shown.

6. Right-click the container, and then click Calculate Percent.
    For more information about calculating percentage of artifacts, see calculating percentage of artifacts.
    Note: Based on the defined conditions, you can see the count of the node by using the Show Count option .

Result:
The container shows the percentage of the artifact based on the defined conditions, and the node that is filled with the specified color.
