Tree

The Tree tab lets you customize tree options for Functional & Logical Design.

This page discusses:

RFLP Tree

Display implement relation folder in tree

Select this option to display the implement relation folder in the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display broken implement relation folder in tree

Select this option to display the broken implement relation folder in the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display partially loaded implement relation folder in tree

Select this option to display the partially loaded implement relation folder in the tree.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Display main view representation in tree

Select this option to display 2D graph layout representations in the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Note: If a functional or a logical component is loaded without its 2D graph layout representations:
  • A warning symbol is added to the icon of the object in tree.
  • A message is displayed in the tooltip when pausing over the object in the tree.

For entities that are not supposed to have the 2D main view, the mask and the tooltip are not displayed.

Display parameters folder in functional and logical trees

Select this option to display the folder containing parameters under the function or logical component in the tree.

Important: This folder is not displayed in the Requirement graph, but the derived requirement

By default, this check box is cleared.

Activate thumbnail tree to switch view
Select this option to display in the tree frame these two commands
  • RFLP Thumbnail Tree: this preview mode displays the existing views of your system.
  • Tree: this mode displays the RFLP tree

By default, this check box is cleared.

Functional Tree

Display flow associations in tree

Select this option to display the flow associations in the Functional category of the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Group per direction
Select this option to group the flow associations according to their direction:
  • Consumption
  • Emission

If this option is cleared, the flow associations are sorted by creation date or in alphabetical order if the Display the tree alphabetically option is selected.

Display functional connections in tree

Select this option to display the functional connections in the Functional category of the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display broken functional connections in tree

Select this option to display the broken connections in the Functional category of the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display partially loaded functional connections in tree

Select this option to display the partially loaded functional connections in the Functional category of the tree.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Grouping node

This option is available for functions, flows, interfaces, ports and connections.

Important: For those attributes to be used for grouping, your administrator must have defined a security mask with a Tree access authorization. For more information, your administrator can see People & Organizations and Content Guide: Security Mask Concepts.
Enable tree grouping by criteria
Groups objects with the same attribute under a specific node in the tree.

By default, this check box is cleared.

The grouping can be customized with maximum three criteria, defined in this order:

  • Group by
  • Then by
  • Finally by
Notes:
  • To be candidate for grouping, the attributes must be integer, string, enum.
  • The attributes proposed for grouping are those related to the type, the type extension and the type derivation.
  • Attributes can have one or multiple values. If they have multiple values:
    • One grouping node is created per value
    • The product appears under every relevant node.

Logical Tree

Display logical ports in tree

Select this option to display the logical ports in the Logical category of the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Group per direction
Select this option to group the ports in the tree according to their direction:
  • In
  • Out
  • InOut
  • NoDirection

If this option is cleared, the ports are sorted by creation date or in alphabetical order if the Display the tree alphabetically option is selected.

Display logical connections in tree

Select this option to display the logical connections in the Logical category of the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display broken logical connections in tree

Select this option to display the broken connections in the Logical category of the tree.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Display partially loaded logical connections in tree

Select this option to display the partially loaded functional connections in the Logical category of the tree.

By default, this check box is cleared.

Display logical types in tree

Select this option to display the logical types in the Logical category of the tree.

By default, this check box is selected.

Grouping node

This option is available for logical components, system types, interfaces, ports and connections.

Important: For those attributes to be used for grouping, your administrator must have defined a security mask with a Tree access authorization. For more information, your administrator can see People & Organizations and Content Guide: Security Mask Concepts.

  • Attributes can have one or multiple values. If they have multiple values:
    • One grouping node is created per value
    • The product appears under every relevant node.

Requirement Tree

Display derived requirement folder in tree

Select this option to display the derived requirements in the Requirement category of the tree (stored in a dedicated folder), and in the 2D graph.

By default, this check box is selected.

Display parameters folder in tree

Select this option to display the folder containing parameters under the requirement in the Requirement category of the tree.
