Filtering compartment items

You can filter compartment items in Function Point diagrams to reduce the complexity or increase the level of abstraction in diagrams. By default, compartment items are listed in the same order as they are in the Properties view and the Project Explorer.

To filter compartment items by visibility style, selection, or by both visibility style and selection:

1. Right-click a shape.
2. Click Filters > Sort/Filter Compartment Items.
3. In the Sort/Filter Compartment Items window, select a compartment and complete one or both of the following steps:
   • To filter by visibility, under Filter Criteria, select the visibility style or styles of compartment items. Click Move to the Left (<).
   • To filter by selection, select or clear the check boxes for each compartment item that you want to make visible or not.
4. Click Apply.
5. Click OK.
