Configuring UPIA modeling capabilities and viewpoints

You can use modeling capabilities to control which features are enabled in your IBM DevOps Model Architect. Viewpoints can be used to hide or expose user interface controls in the workspace.

About this task

Enabling UPIA modeling capabilities
To use the UPIA modeling features to develop UPIA models, you must globally enable the UPIA modeling capability.
Configuring UPIA capabilities in the root of models
You can enable or disable individual UPIA capabilities in the model root.
Enabling additional UML element capabilities in UPIA models
In addition to the default UML and UPIA modeling capabilities, you can enable custom modeling capabilities for a UPIA model.
Enabling UPIA viewpoints
You can select one of five predefined UPIA viewpoints to change the set of capabilities that you want to use. When you change the viewpoint, the available tools, including pop-up menu items and Palette items, are updated to provide the corresponding modeling tools. You can also enable custom viewpoints that you have defined.
Creating custom viewpoints for UPIA models
You can create new viewpoints, or customize an existing modeling viewpoints, to reduce the number of tools that are displayed in the user interface. For example, you can duplicate a predefined UPIA viewpoint as a base, and then select or clear specific capabilities to provide only the tools that you need to work with UPIA models.
