Group view

[0xBradock]

Hello,

Is it possible to collapse group elements?

Suppose I have InternalSystems and ExternalSystems groups.
Now, I would like a view that has 1 Box called InternalSystems with all afferent (or efferent) connections.

I tried some options from here (one include at a time):

group "AAA" {
    a = softwareSystem "A"
    b = softwareSystem "B"

    a -> b
}

views {
   systemLandscape {
       include element==AAA       # The element/relationship "AAA" does not exist
       include element->AAA       # The element "element" does not exist
       include element==->AAA     # The element "AAA" does not exist
       include AAA                # The element/relationship "AAA" does not exist

       autolayout lr
   }
}

All of the include attempts errored.

Question: Using the group will solve my issue?
Question: What are I am doing wrong when trying to include the group AAA?

This may be related.

It's not.

What are I am doing wrong when trying to include the group AAA?

You need to give the group an identifier in order to use it with an include statement; for example:

workspace {
    
    model {
        AAA = group "AAA" {
            a = softwareSystem "A"
            b = softwareSystem "B"
        
            a -> b
        }
    }

    views {
       systemLandscape {
           include AAA
    
           autolayout lr
       }
    }
    
}
