Working with the Enterprise Architecture Workspace dashboard

The Enterprise Architecture Workspace dashboard provides a summary of the business and application portfolio of your organization. It’s arranged according to different portfolios such as the application portfolio, technology portfolio, information portfolio, and so on.

As an enterprise architect, use the interactive filters to generate different graphical reports of the business applications for your portfolios. You can select a pie chart slice or graph bar to open a particular page and see the list of records under that category. To hide or show a slice in the pie chart, select its colored legend. Use the Refresh button to refresh the results of a pie chart.
