Visual Business View Editor

Business leaders rarely require raw ArchiMate relationship diagrams; CFOs and Business Unit heads often need focused executive dashboards tracking cost structures, SLA performance, and modernization priorities.

EasyEA’s Visual Business View Editor (BusinessViewEditorModal.tsx) empowers architects to assemble custom dashboards without writing code.

1. Drag-and-Drop Architecture Canvas

Accessible from Architect Hub ➔ Business Views, the editor combines modular widgets dynamically querying the live model graph:

graph TD
    Palette[Available Widget Palette] --> Canvas[Drag & Drop Grid Canvas]
    Canvas --> W1[KPI Metric Cards]
    Canvas --> W2[Targeted TIME Matrix]
    Canvas --> W3[Capability Heatmap]
    Canvas --> W4[Donut & Bar Charts]
    Canvas --> W5[Deep-Dive Data Table]
    Canvas --> Save[Publish to Business Hub for Stakeholders]

The editor offers 5 core widget families:

1. KPI Metric Cards

Aggregate metrics (e.g., Total Retail IT Run Cost, Legacy Deprecated Count, Mean SLA Uptime).
Configurable threshold triggers shifting card colors (green, amber, red) upon exceeding critical boundaries.

2. Tailored TIME Matrices

Specialized Gartner TIME grids filtering targeted asset subsets (e.g., core banking engines or public cloud workloads).

3. Capability Heatmaps

Hierarchical Business Capability trees shaded by selected indicators:
- Technical Fitness (Traffic light rating).
- Cumulative Annual TCO (Continuous gradient scale).
- Operational Risk / SPOF Exposure.

4. Distribution Charts (Donut & Bar Charts)

Donut charts representing hosting split (On-Premise vs. Cloud) or vendor concentration.
Horizontal bar charts ranking top-spending systems by annual cost.

5. Deep-Dive Analytical Tables

Interactive tabular grids with selectable columns (Vendor, TCO, End-of-Support Date, Owner) complete with instant filtering and CSV export.

3. Publishing to Business Stakeholders

Published views appear instantly inside Business Hub ➔ Custom Views:

Stakeholders and executive viewers access dashboards in responsive read-only mode.
Analytics recompute in real time whenever architects update elements in the central repository.
