Element - Diagram Edge

Notation

The diagram edge is shown as a dashed line with an arrowhead.

Owner Hierarchy/Prerequisites

• Elements involved in the diagram edge exist in various diagrams; these are shown as diagram nodes in the whiteboard diagram.

• The relationship needs to be set as permissible in the configuration between elements and within the diagram.

• Depending on the relationship's concrete element type further constraints may ensue.
