8.3 Toolbars

At the top there are toolbars to control the tools: Projects, Home and Settings.

8.3.1 The Projects toolbar

Use the Project toolbar to add, remove, modify and swap between projects. The intranet tool and the standalone tool have slightly different toolbars.

For the intranet tool:

For the standalone tool:

The Project library shows a list of all projects that are currently available for viewing and editing. The list of projects is divided into three sections: your private projects, shared projects that you have worked on, and other shared projects.

The selected project can be acted upon using the three buttons to the right. You can:

• activate the project, to start viewing and editing it.
• remove the project.
• merge the project into the currently active project. All services of the highlighted project will be re-created as services of the active project.

The project properties allow you to change important aspects of your project.

• change the name or description of the project.
• change whether the project is private or shared; see Private and shared projects
• set the worst plausible attacker for cybersecurity vulnerabilities. See XXX
• change the icon set for the project.

Icon sets contain graphical representations of components in your diagrams. By default the icon sets Classic and Default will be installed. Your can create your own icon sets, or extend the predefined ones (see XXX).

The Projects toolbar may contain functions for debugging. These are temporary, and can be ignored.

8.3.2 The Home toolbar

The Home toolbar is used for editing and viewing information. It is the same for the intranet and standalone tools. The first section is fixed, and contains the Undo, Redo, Find and Help buttons.

The second section contains buttons for each of the four views. Below is the toolbar for Diagrams view.

8.3.3 The Settings toolbar

The Settings toolbar provides settings and other preferences. The one from the intranet tool is below.

The standalone tool has a smaller toolbar.

• Vulnerability levels: The size of the vulnerability level indicators (see Diagram nodes) can be switched between large and small, or they can be hidden entirely.
• Labels: The colours that are associated with labels can either be hidden or shown. When hidden, nodes are always painted in plain black and white, as if no label was assigned to them. Hide the label colours when you find this too distracting, or before printing to a black and white printer.
• Minimap: Hide or show the minimap during editing or before printing.

The intranet tool has two extra settings.

• Your name: The server stores the name of the last person to modify a shared project, together with the date of modification. Enter your name here; this is purely informational.
• Network connection: The network connection to the server is normally automatically set to either offline (disconnected) or online (connected). You can (re-)enable communication with the server by switching to online.
