Looking for an alternative to Component Tree in Workspace mode? You can use a Dependency Map in the New Ardoq Experience to build and explore a business capability map and share it with stakeholders through Discover.
Here’s how to get started!
What can you use instead?
We recommend using a Dependency Map in Viewpoint mode to build a business capability map and explore the capability hierarchy with the Component navigator.
This is a good option when you want to:
Share a business capability map with non-IT stakeholders, such as Risk, Audit, Product, and Privacy teams, so they can access and navigate it through Discover without working directly in Ardoq Core.
Explore any other hierarchy, such as an organization structure or an application and its modules, and see how it relates to other components.
Why use Viewpoint mode?
Viewpoint mode makes it easier to explore your architecture, create visualizations, and turn data into insights.
Here’s what you can benefit from:
Explore large datasets more efficiently. Work with the data you need without loading entire workspaces.
Make changes with AI. Use natural language to adjust your visualization, such as highlighting applications approaching end of life or adding labels to show their owners.
Spend less time configuring views and more time exploring your architecture!
How to get started
Follow these steps to create your visualization in Viewpoint mode.
Open Viewpoint mode: Click on the ‘Explore data’ button in the top right of the Home page.
Select Context Component(s): Select the components you would like to have in your viewpoint.
Include the hierarchy via references: Include all descendants of the selected components to bring in every level below your start set.
Open Viewpoint: Then click the ‘Open dataset’ button in the bottom right.
Choose Dependency Map: Select Dependency Map as the view style. Click the ‘View style, options and settings’ button. Then select Dependency Map.
Customize your Dependency Map: Creating grouping, labels, and conditional formatting to further customize your view.
Explore the hierarchy: Use the Component navigator to move through the capability hierarchy.
Save your Viewpoint.
That’s it! You now have a business capability map that you can use to explore your capability hierarchy and share it with your stakeholders.
A few things to keep in mind
The new visualization works a little differently from the original Component Tree.
Layout: A Dependency Map does not display components as an expandable tree, so your layout will change.
Use Grouping in the view to reflect the hierarchy, or inspect the Component navigator.
Alternatively, you can use Data Inventory to explore your Component hierarchies. Note: Data Inventory cannot currently be saved to a Presentation slide.
Editing the hierarchy: To rearrange the parent-child structure, use the left-side workspace navigator.
