I am having an issue with navigation in the portal when I use shortcuts in a diagram.
First - my environment
- using 16.5 client/repository
- browser is Chrome
The use case:
- In an EA model I have an infrastructure diagram
- In this diagram I added shortcuts to other infrastructure diagrams. These reside in a sub-folder directly beneath the folder I am currently working in.
- When on the portal, clicking on these shortcuts takes me to the Shortcut properties (would ideally like to go directly to Target Object!!)
- On the property sheet for the Shortcut, one of the properties is Target Object - when clicking on this link it basically goes nowhere (i.e. stays on property sheet)
On the Client software, I can change this behavior by going to Tools > General Option > Dialog and changing the shortcut proprty sheet options.
As stated, ideally I would like the shortcut icon in the portal diagram to go to the target object. If that cannot be done, then I would at least like to be clicking on the target Object property in the Shortcut Property Sheet and actually end up at the Target Object.
NOTE: When the diagrams are all in the same folder, then this all works fine - clicking on the shortcut in one diagram goes directly to the property sheet of the Target Object (another Diagram). I was really hoping to be able to pretty seamlessly navigate through diagrams using appropriately placed shortcuts as visual cues. Since we are doing a fairly comprehensive coverage of EA, diagrams being "linked" in this fashion are not always going to be in the same folder.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
