Customizing queries for existing topic diagrams

You can customize a query for an existing topic diagram if you want to change its context or level of detail. When you customize the topic query, you cannot change individual diagram elements; you must change the query for the entire diagram.

You must have a topic diagram open in the diagram editor.

To customize a query for an existing topic diagram:
  1. In the diagram editor, right-click an empty space; then click Customize Query.
  2. In the Configure Query window, specify the relationship type, the expansion direction, the stopping set, the levels of depth to query, and the layout format for the diagram.
    Note: The stopping set defines the search criteria for the selected relationships.
  3. Click Finish.
