- Yes, the property list is fixed. Here 'add properties' mean that the
user can add the values for the provided properties.

- Thumbnail image will be displayed for that respective chevron diagram
in the list page. ( as shown in the list_chevron screenshot) Currently we
do not support change for the graphical appearance of a chevron. If it is
to be implemented , how would you suggest it to be ?( ex: user selects a
color from a provided list)
3. Do we support multiple predecessors and successors?
- For the initial requirements we did not support multiple
predecessors/successors, but this will be implemented in the next phase.
4.Is a value of the Process property a link? If it is
only a name, what is the scope of its uniqueness (aka namespace)?
- Yes, a value of the process property is linked to that relevant
process model.
5.Do we support drawing vertical chevron diagrams, i.e.
diagrams the arrows of which point from top to bottom?
- Currently only horizontal diagrams are supported.
6.Do we support annotations of individual chevrons that
are shown on the canvas?
- Yes, if a user clicks on an individual chevron that is placed on the
canvas, those annotations will be listed. ( as shown in create_chevron
screenshot).
2.list_chevron:

> 1. Please call the type "Chevron Diagram" (instead of just "Chevron"):

- +1.Will change the type name to chevron diagram instead of chevron.
2.What's the purpose of the "Statistics" button?
- 'Statistics' page comes by default for an asset type that is created
in ES. It contains charts that display rated assets, top assets etc.
3.edit_chevron:
>
> 1. Can we change "Edit Asset" into "Edit Chevron Diagram"?
>
>
- +1.Will change the title to Edit Chevron Diagram instead of Edit
Asset.
2.The properties now contain an "owner" and a
"description" property, i.e. more properties than you show in
create_chevron; and the "process" property is
now missing: why?
- There are two sets of properties that a user should fill. A property
list for the entire diagram as well as properties for each chevron.
For the entire chevron diagram ( ex : product payment) following
properties[1] will be included.
(name,owner,predecessor,successor,provider,version,description)
Whereas for each individual chevron (ex:check payment type etc) ,
following properties[2] will be included.
(name,owner,predecessor,successor,process) Therefore in chevron_edit page,
if the user clicks on the canvas, properties for the entire diagram will be
displayed.while if the user clicks on a specific chevron that relevant
properties will be listed. This is the same mechanism followed in
create_chevron page.

- +1 .Will change chevron into chevron diagram and process into process
model.
