Context View

The Context View shows you a hierarchical view of all Contexts on the Board. Linked Contexts become sub-contexts, allowing you to build hierarchical context models on your board.

Context View

Using the Context View

Expand/Collapse Contexts

  • Click on a context to expand or collapse its children
  • See the full tree structure at a glance
  • Focus on specific areas of interest

Jump to Context

  • Click on any context to navigate to it on the board
  • Quickly switch between different parts of your model
  • Maintain spatial awareness of your location

Creating Context Hierarchies

Link Contexts

  1. Create multiple contexts on your board
  2. Draw connections between parent and child contexts
  3. The hierarchy automatically appears in Context View

Troubleshooting

Contexts Not Showing in Hierarchy

  • Ensure contexts are properly linked on the board
  • Check that connections are directional (parent → child)
  • Refresh the Context View

Circular Dependencies

  • Avoid circular context references
  • Restructure to create clear hierarchy
  • Use events for bidirectional communication

Too Many Levels

  • Keep hierarchy depth reasonable (2-4 levels)
  • Flatten if structure is too deep
  • Combine contexts if appropriate
