Hi Chathura,
After the meeting with Sameera, he suggested the following design model.
Since every sub chevron element itself also represents a
process,suggestion was to create two asset types named chevron and chevron
workflow.
1.chevron.rxt : Includes all metadata
fields.(Name,Version,Provider,Predecessor,Successor,Process model)
2. chevron workflow.rxt: Includes following two fields.
2.1 *sequence*: This will hold all chevron ids that we draw on the
canvas.
2.2* layout:* This will hold the formatting data of chevron element
drawn on the canvas. Such as chevron id, positionX,positionY.
Views for these 2 asset types will be as follows. Please refer [1].
3.Create page for chevron asset type : User can enter metadata fields
listed, and on click of create button those values will be added to
chevron.rxt.
4. Create page for chevron workflow asset type: User can drag and drop
chevron icon can create their diagram. On click of create button, ids of
the chevron icons will be saved under sequence field, layout details in
layout field. An association will be made between the relevant chevron
asset and chevron asset workflow.
5. Chevron view page : Chevron related data (name, version etc) will be
loaded in a table while the associated diagram will be loaded in a canvas.
The only catch is that all diagram related data ( layout and sequence) will
be saved in JSON format. Therefore no xml will be included. Are there any
restrictions such as the diagram should be maintained in xml format? Please
provide your feedback on this design suggestion.
Please refer [1] for further reference. I will continue working on the
previous design model(with one asset type) until a decision is made.
