Enterprise Objects Relationships Reference

A reminder that an Enterprise Object (EO) is any object in the Strategies, Requirements, Business Rules, Processes, Resources, Interfaces, Work Products, Classes, and Risk Templates folders in the repository. In particular, an EO in the table below is an Activity, Business Rule, Class, External Agent, Goal, Interface, Operation, Process, Requirement, Resource, Risk Template, Service, Strategy, or Work Product.

In addition, the table also shows ‘Documented By’ relationships that can be made to External Files (e.g. a PDF or Word document, or Excel spreadsheet), or an iGrafx document ‘component,’ which includes diagram, sheet, scenario, and report.

The following table shows how enterprise objects (EOs) may be related to other objects by creating a relationship shown in the EOs Properties dialog box:

This Relationship...

Can Be Created FROM (On) These Enterprise Object(s)...
