Add Custom Links Between Objects

Create edges between objects that are not connected by static analysis to document known runtime dependencies.

Before you start
Who this is for Developer, architect
Role required Editor or higher
Prerequisites Application imported; both source and target objects visible at Objects level
  1. Right-click the source object and select Add edge.
  2. Click the target object on the canvas.
  3. A dialog asks you to name or type the link.
  4. Click Save.

[TODO: Screenshot of the Add edge flow]

The custom link appears on the canvas as a dashed edge to distinguish it from analysis-detected links.

Use cases

  • Document a runtime HTTP call between two services that static analysis cannot detect.
  • Show a dependency on an external system (use a custom object type for the external system).
  • Record an integration point described in a design document but not visible in the code.

Right-click the custom link and select Edit or Delete.
