User Guide - Portals7 September, 2020PortalsThe Portals provide a high level, logical grouping of Enterprise Architect's tools and facilities, to form an entry point intospecific features that you might need to apply. They provide access to common tools, custom searches, window layoutsand Perspectives. For example, if you want to run searches for particular information in the model, or access thewindows that are appropriate to a particular set of actions, you can select a Portal to identify and provide access to thosefacilities. This makes it easier to set up a work environment within the system, and carry out your tasks in a smoothsequence.AccessRibbonExplore Portals select Portal Start Desktop Design Portals : Portal button Portal Keyboard ShortcutsShift Alt POtherStart Page : Open a Portal select Portal Navigator Toolbar ::The Portals windowThe Portals window displays on either the left- or right-hand side of the Enterprise Architect work area.

User Guide - Portals7 September, 2020Perspectives PortalThe Perspective Portal provides a number of work Perspectives grouped by general work area. Each Perspective filtersthe modeling windows and dialogs to present only the modeling Patterns you might use in the work defined by thePerspective. When you select a Perspective the Model Wizard displays, showing the 'Model Patterns' tab and providingthe model templates that you might use to initially create a model supporting the type of work.For example, if you select the 'Construction Kanban' Perspective the Model Wizard presents three Kanban Patterns forone-stage, two-stage and three-stage workflows. As you open or refresh other windows, such as the 'New Diagram'dialog, the objects you can initially select are filtered to provide - in this example - only Patterns for developing Kanbandiagrams.The Perspectives you can select from the Portal, the Patterns they provide, and the facilities for managing Perspectivesare described in the Perspectives section under 'Modeling Building Models' in the Help.AccessRibbonKeyboard ShortcutsOtherExplore Portals Perspectives PerspectiveShift Alt P :Start Page Open a Portal PerspectiveNavigator Toolbar :Perspective(c) Sparx Systems 2020:Page 9 of 20: Created with Enterprise Architect
