Slice View

This View only shows something if you select a slice.

You can create slices by selecting the elements that should belong to a slice and clicking (5) This will draw a border around these elements. Whatever is inside the border belongs to the slice.

Slice View

Key Features:

  1. Move selected elements - left, right, up, down
  2. Increase the slice size vertically
  3. Select all slices to the right - have to be assigned to a Context
  4. Select the slice and all elements within - including Specifications
  5. Draw a Slice around selected elements - or empty if none selected
  6. Create a new slice based on the selected one - if a State View is selected, models a State Change and vice versa
  7. Name of the slice - has to start with “slice:” (will be added automatically if missing)
  8. Slice Status
  9. Assign a context to the slice - You can select all slices and assign the context to all in one go
  10. Define Status as Border - if unchecked, the whole slices is colored

Slice Status

The slice status helps you track the progress of implementation and planning:

  • Done - Slice is fully implemented
  • Assigned - Slice is assigned to a developer
  • InProgress - Slice is being worked on
  • Review - Slice is currently reviewed (code review, model review)
  • Blocked - Slice is blocked
  • Planned - Slice is planned for a future iteration
  • Created - Initial status when slice is created
  • Informational - Slice is just for information, no implementation needed

Example Slice

Example Slice

  1. Slice title
  2. Clickable Indicator - that this slice is assigned to a Context
  3. Slice Border - everything within the border belongs to the slice

One Click Modeling

If you select just an Event ( and nothing else ), the one click modeling View becomes active. From here you can model the 4 known Patterns with just one click.

Example Slice

1) Create a State Change Slice Example Slice

2) Create a State View Slice Example Slice

3) Create an Automation Example Slice

4) Create a Translation Example Slice
