Working with the Graphical Representation of an Orchestration

The initial Orchestrations design page shows a graphical representation of an orchestration with all its components, as shown in the following image:

The graphic area includes the following features:

• Navigation toolbox

  Click the Control Panel icon in the upper-left corner of the graphic area to display a toolbox for navigating. Use the directional controls to pan left, right, up, and down, as well as zoom in or zoom out. Click "Zoom to Fit" to display the entire graphical representation in the window. Use the layout buttons to change the layout to vertical, horizontal, tree, radial, or circle. This helps to view more complex orchestrations that contain multiple components.

• Informational hover help

  Hover your mouse over a component in the graphical area to view an enlarged image of the component. Hovering over the labels on the lines between a rule component and its child components magnify the "True" or "False" label. A "True" label indicates the child component will be invoked if the conditions in the rule are met. A "False" label indicates the child component will be invoked when the condition of the rule is not met.

• Isolate and Restore buttons

  Click the Isolate button on the left side of a component to show only that component in the graphic area. Click Restore to display all orchestration components.

• Access to the design page for editing the component

  When you click a box representing a component, the Orchestrator Studio takes you to the design page for modifying that particular component.
