Views Panel

Open the Views panel from the left rail. It has four sub-tabs.

Structure

Section titled “Structure”

Shows the current view (the one open on the canvas), along with its AUTO or CURRENT status. This is the default sub-tab when the panel opens.

Views

Section titled “Views”

Lists every view in the workspace — both views you define explicitly in the DSL and views ArchTect derives automatically from your model:

  • Views tagged DSL are explicitly authored — they come from a systemContext, container, component, dynamic, deployment, or filtered block in your views { } section.
  • Views tagged AUTO are generated automatically so every element has a reasonable default view to open, even before you’ve written one yourself.

Views panel listing authored (DSL) and auto-generated views

Use the search box at the top to filter by name, and the All / Authored / Generated toggle to narrow the list. Click any entry to open it on the canvas.

Flows

Section titled “Flows”

Lists dynamic views (interaction flows) defined in the workspace — see Dynamic Views.

Deployments

Section titled “Deployments”

Lists deployment environments and their views — see Deployment Views.

Creating a view

Section titled “Creating a view”

Click the + button at the top of the panel to create a new view. This opens a dialog to choose the view type and scope, and writes the corresponding block into your DSL.
