Dependency Report

The dependency report allows to visualize links between assets. It is possible to traverse through the assets and visualize them accordingly. The dependency report is also well suited for manually modeling constructs in Txture and is, therefore, frequently used during the Data Collection phase.

The following screenshot shows an example for a dependency report. In this example, the deplyoment stack of an application named "Smart Stock" is depicted.

Configuration​

Follow the steps below to configure your own dependency report:

  1. There are four ways how to add assets to the dependency report:
    • Use the query bar on the left to add assets and paths between assets.
    • Use the Add asset(s) button to add one or many assets.
    • After you've added an asset, you can utilize it to link to other assets. To do so, hover over the asset and click on the link icon. This way of adding assets is useful to model stacks on the graph. Check out our how_tos for more information on modeling in the dependency report.
    • After you added one asset, you can use this asset to traverse a link to related assets (see screenshot below). Right-click on your asset on the graph and traverse to another asset. You can either traverse to the asset's neighbors or traverse along a path to all other related assets.
  2. After you added all desired assets, you can rearrange assets and layers by drag and drop.
  3. Use the Save button to save the configuration of your dependency report.

  • You can zoom in and out with the help of the mouse wheel, and pan by holding and dragging the right mouse button.
  • Navigating the graph can be done with the help of the context menu, which is accessible by right clicking an asset in the dependency report, or the donut menu, which is shown when you hover over an asset.

Styling​

All configured conditional stylings are applied on the shown assets and there is full asset detail sidebar support as known from the table report. Note that conditional styling rules can be applied globally and per report.

Export​

The dependency report can be exported as PDF, PNG or SVG file by using the report menu in the upper right corner.
