This chapter describes main features of the [TOPOLOGY] menu in the project detailed mode.
You can select the way of displaying topology on the screen.

-
Displays the basic type of topology representing the relationships between assets.
Each circle in the topology represents a single asset, and the arrows between the circles shows the call relationships between assets. The more calling/called assets for a specific asset, the larger the size of circles.
When hovering the mouse over a circle, it highlights the assets that directly calls or are called by the asset. Clicking the circle displays only the assets directly calling or being called by the selected asset on the screen.
-
Displays the tree-type topology representing assets based on their call depth.
Each circle in the topology represents a single asset, and the arrows between the circles shows the call relationships between assets.
When hovering the mouse over a circle, it highlights the assets that directly calls or are called by the asset. Clicking the circle displays only the assets directly calling or being called by the selected asset on the screen.

-
In the expanded left pane of the Topology screen, click
icon next to Domains to expand the Domains section. -
In the expanded Domains section, you can check the list of domains to which assets belong.
Clicking domain names can change the status of the show/hide option. A checked status (
) indicates the domain displayed in the topology, and an unchecked status (
) indicates the domain that is not displayed in the topology.Additionally, clicking the [Select All] button at the top of the list displays all domains in the topology, while clicking [Clear All] button hides all domains in the topology.

The following describes additional functions.
Menu Description 
Adjust the depth of the diagram. You can adjust the depth from level 1 to 10 by using the [-] and [+] buttons on the either side of the number.
Displays the source code of the asset.
If you click the part where the call is made in the 'SEQUENCE' and 'DOMAIN' diagrams, or if you click the section name in the 'DATA' diagram, the corresponding location is displayed in the source code.
Returns the diagram that is zoomed in or out to the default magnification.
Downloads the diagram as an image file.
Displays the call relationships with other assets in the sequential order starting with the selected asset.
In the first access, it shows the asset that is directly called from the selected asset (1 depth).
Note
If the metadata has been registered, the logical name is displayed to the left of the program name in the call relationships.
Displays the call relationships between assets. Unlike 'SEQUENCE' or 'DOMAIN' diagrams, this type of diagram also indicates the called assets and focuses on displaying the overall call relationships between assets such as recursive calls.
Note
If the metadata has been registered, the domain name and logical name are displayed below the program name.
Shows the call relationships between assets in the order of calls, similar to SEQUENCE type. If metadata is registered for the assets, it groups and displays them by domain according to the data.
Note
If metadata has been registered, the nodes are grouped by domain. That is, even if the calls are made between multiple assets within a single domain, only one node is displayed. Additionally, the logical name is displayed to the left of the program name in the call relationships.
Illustrates the internal logic of a single asset. You can check the flow of the program based on conditional statements and its branches.
You can view the source code of assets.
-
In the project detailed mode, go to the [TOPOLOGY] menu.
-
Click the asset for which you want to view the source code.
-

-
The asset information is displayed in the right pane of the screen. Click the Call Relationships section.
-

You can also perform additional functions by hovering the mouse over the [+] button at the bottom right of the screen.
The following describes additional functions.
