A big-scale N2 diagram can easily get too insurmountable. Use the filter option and you can easily find and work on exactly the relevant systems and interfaces you wish.

Locate the filter feature in the left-hand sidebar.

You have the option to save a filter you have defined by marking off the different areas necessary and press save. The load tap contains all the filters you have saved.

You can also edit a saved filter by pressing save and press update existing, and pick the intended saved filter.

To clarify; a functional, technical or component system can have multiple functional, technical or component systems as system elements.

With the structure level you can filter on the systems that have the same abstraction level but on a lower structure level. In the following example you'll see a technical system that has a technical system on the 3rd structure level (=M1=MS1=HQ1).

System Progress and Interface Progress allows you to find the exact system or interface on a specific progressing level or between two progression levels.

The syntax element singles out which system levels you want to be displayed in the SIMO grid. This indicates the functional, technical, and component systems.

Owners filter the SIMO grid when you search on specific or multiple owners.

Owner Groups filter the SIMO grid when you search on specific or multiple groups.

Choosing multiple owners or owner groups:

Include system can be used to filter on specific systems in the SIMO grid.

Include subsystems can be used to filter on subsystems (system elements) linked to a chosen system in the SIMO grid.

Exclude systems can be used to exclude systems in the SIMO grid.

Interface classification code filters the SIMO grid only to contain interfaces with those specific SIMO classification codes.
