Access the ASO Diagram Workspace

A Diagram represents the physical layout and construction of pieces of equipment and locations. A Diagram consists of a root System Subsystem record, which is linked to one or more System Subsystem, System Sensor, System Buffer, System Link, System Asset, and System Switch records that together make up the Diagram.

When you create an ASO Analysis, the Diagram is created automatically using the strategy (and any strategies it contains) from which you created the analysis. Therefore, after you have created an ASO Analysis, there is no manual step required for creating a Diagram. You simply can build out the Diagram further by adding the necessary elements and connections.

Steps

Access ASO.

In the Analysis Summary pane, select the Diagram tab.

The Diagram workspace appears.

The Diagram workspace contains the following features:
- Diagram Hierarchy pane: Provides a hierarchical view of the elements that are included in the Diagram.
- Diagram Canvas: Serves as an interactive drawing interface where you can build a Diagram. You can drag elements from the Diagram Palette pane to the Diagram Canvas to display the elements within the Diagram. You can then rearrange the elements by dragging them to different locations on the Diagram Canvas.
- Diagram Palette: Displays the available Diagram elements that you can drag onto the Diagram Canvas to include in the Diagram.
  
  Note: The Diagram Palette feature is only available for System and Unit Strategies.
- Properties: Displays the information associated either with the entire Diagram or a selected element.
