    • Categories are especially useful for grouping your artifacts into relevant sections. You can create and edit categories as required, but only one category can be assigned at any one time to an architectural artifact.

    Important:

    Starting with the Xanadu release, the legacy architectural artifact module is moved to the Enterprise Architecture Workspace. To learn more, see Manage architectural artifact categories.

    Use categories to group your  architectural artifacts more efficiently. As the artifacts administrator, you can create and edit any number of categories. The categories can contain references to the child categories and to the artifacts. When creating an architectural artifact, the category must be pre-defined to ensure it can be assigned to the artifact. The following categories are provided from the base system. These categories are aligned with the TOGAF standard.
    • Application Architecture
    • Architecture Vision
    • Business Architecture
    • Data Architecture
    • Opportunities and Solutions
    • Preliminary Phase
    • Technology Architecture
