Draw links in MS Visio
In addition to drawing links diagram directly in WebApp, you can also draw links diagram in MS Visio:
- In the ALVAO Asset Management Console, in the object tree, select the object whose links you want to visualize.
- From the main menu, select Object - Draw links in MS Visio.
- A new MS Visio document with the drawn links will be displayed.
The generated document contains the entire dependency tree of the selected object.
