Accuracy score | A number score added to diagrams or objects that check if any reality links are out-of-date or inaccuracy comments have been added. See Inaccuracy score for more. |
Actor | Level 1 in the C4 model - The end user who uses the systems. |
App | Level 2 in the C4 model - A deployable &/or runable service or client that lives within a system (a type of C4 container - not Docker). |
C4 model | A simple set of hierarchical abstractions and diagram types to communicate complex systems. Designed to be accessible to technical and non-technical people. See Modelling for more. |
Component | Level 3 of the C4 model - The building blocks/modules that make up the container. |
Diagram flow | A sequence of events flowing through an existing diagram - you can have multiple on 1 diagram. See Flows for more. |
Domain | Level 0 for the C4 model - An optional way to split up your model and related diagrams into logical groupings while keeping the benefits of a single shared model. See Domains for more. |
Draft | A diagram shows siloed changes that have not been merged into the main model—a great way to plan future architecture changes with multiple options without affecting all other diagrams. See Drafts & future state design for more. |
Landscape | A landscape is a shared model and set of diagrams containing internal and external objects in your organization at varying levels of detail. See Landscapes for more. |
Landscape recommendations | A score to help polish your documentation and make them more easily understandable to your readers. See Recommendation score for more. |
Model | The shared library of model objects, connections and meta data used to draw references from in the diagrams. |
Model objects | The actors, systems, apps, stores and components used to describe how your system design works. |
Organization | The owning group of everything you create in IcePanel including users, landscapes, models, model objects, diagrams. |
Ownership team | Groups of users within your organization that can be assigned ownership of model objects. See Ownership teamsfor more. |
Share link | Auto-updated URL share links of your design. See Share links & embeds for more. |
Store | Level 2 in the C4 model - A deployable &/or runable database or store that lives within a system (a type of C4 container - not Docker). |
System | Level 1 in the C4 model - The highest level of abstraction in the C4 model that delivers value to end users. Often owned by a development team. |
Tag group | A group of metadata tags highlights different perspectives within the diagrams. See Tags for more. |
Tags | A metadata tag can be added to objects to visualize diagrams dynamically and filter the model. See Tags for more. |
