What it is for

Dynamic (supplementary)

Why a specialized view helps

C4 views are zoom levels of one model; a dedicated tool keeps each level consistent with the next instead of redrawing boxes by hand.

File formats

Screenshots

The batch release scenario: the OPC UA Gateway, Plant Event Bus, Quality Service, Batch Execution Service, Batch Record Archive and ERP Adapter as containers, LIMS and SAP S/4HANA as external systems, joined by numbered interactions; the key along the bottom and Toolbox showing Person, Software System, Container and Component. Nothing selected.

What is visible: The batch release scenario: the OPC UA Gateway, Plant Event Bus, Quality Service, Batch Execution Service, Batch Record Archive and ERP Adapter as containers, LIMS and SAP S/4HANA as external systems, joined by numbered interactions; the key along the bottom and Toolbox showing Person, Software System, Container and Component. Nothing selected.

Why it matters: One scenario, the release of a batch, is drawn as numbered interactions between the containers and external systems taking part, so the order of the calls reads from the same workspace as the static views.
