View Related Objects Graphically

You can view the concept structure and related objects displayed graphically by the graphical navigator.

  1. Navigate to the Concept Design work area.

  2. Use the Search panel to search for and open a concept structure.

    Choose Concepts in the Search For list. Enter the name of concept and click Search. In the search results, click the name of the concept to open it.

    A concept structure is simply a concept that has requirements specifications associated with it.

  3. Select Actions > Launch Graphical Navigator.

    A tab opens with the concept structure displayed graphically by the graphical navigator.

  4. The high-level map shows the concept structure and its related requirements specifications.

    Click on an object in the high-level map to zoom in on that object.

  5. The graphical navigator's internal Search panel is helpful to find specific objects in a large concept structure.

    In the search results - or on the high-level map - right-click on an object and select Focus to zoom in on the object.

  6. To see different summaries about the object, right-click on other objects in the search results, such as:

    • Information: View additional information about the component.

    • Focus: Brings the component to focus.

      Note: The components that aren't on the same level, and that aren't directly connected to the focused components are collapsed.
    • More Details: View additional details of the component.

    For instance, on the Information pop-up, click More Details to open the object in a dynamic tab to view all information.
