Desktop Client: How to create a custom order for diagrams in an IGX document
If you create multiple diagrams within one IGX Document using the iGrafx Desktop Client, it is likely you want them displayed in a certain order within the Client and when browsing the iGrafx Platform.
While there is no built-in custom sorting mechanism for document components, the following rules apply for how diagrams within one IGX document are sorted:
- When in the
Document Components
panel (View → More Windows → Document Components), the individual diagrams and other parts of the diagram can be arranged hierarchically to make navigation easier. - Inside each level and when viewing the diagrams within the Platform, the ordering is alphanumeric
Step-by-step guide
To change the order to a custom order, we recommend renaming your diagrams and adding a numeric prefix to put them into the desired order
- In the
Document Components
panel, right-click the diagram to rename - Click
Rename
- Enter the name, like
1 - General Flow
- Press
Enter
- Repeat the process for each diagram that needs a custom order
