Repository Desktop

Purpose: The primary purpose of The Repository Desktop template is to design toolbars in QLM.

Core concerns: The Repository Desktop enables you to use Button Panels and Icons to design additional toolbars that can be added to the desired diagram template types in the actions tab in QLM. The toolbars can, when assigned to a template type, be used to analyze the data shown in diagrams.

Below, you can see some examples of different toolbars:

RepositoryDesktop_2

RepositoryDesktop_1

The repository has several toolbars available when installed that you, through the repository template can assign to the desired template types.

Other functionalities: The Repository Desktop template can also be used as an overview page that links out to other diagrams relevant for certain stakeholders. Below, you can see an example of a strategy desktop where each icon links to the model illustrated:

Relation to other templates: The Repository Desktop is, like the Matrix template, an auxiliary diagram. As such it is not directly connected to other templates but can be used to enable certain analytical functions in all types of diagrams.

Properties and metadata: The Repository Desktop template can, for example, retain the following information:

  • A description of the template
  • Audits (auto generated information regarding its current state and access rights)
  • Associated documents, diagrams and other objects
  • Inherent Risk detailing risk considerations
  • Governance information detailing information about the published diagram and who has been involved in the approval of the diagram

Other functionalities: Controlling paper documents and their distribution is also possible with this diagram type.

The diagram contains embedded revision control of the external documents. This functionality is based on the following placement of the repository related documents:

Directory structure example:
c:\qwc\
. db\…
. demos\…
. guides\…
. models\…
. Projects\
. . repdb1\…
. . repdb2\…
. . …
. . repdbx\
. . . in\…
. . . out\…
. . . Docs\< here are all related documents placed >

Relation to other templates: The Configuration Diagram can be contained in a Workflow Diagram, be linked as ‘Relevant Documentation’ for a Project Activity and be a decomposition of a Business Scope.

Properties and metadata: The Configuration Diagram template ­­­­can for example retain the following information:

  • A description of the diagram
  • Link to the owner of the diagram
  • Link to the one responsible for the diagram
