Navigation & UI

Purpose: The purpose of this concept article is to describe the objective, scope, and value of the Time Travel, Filtering, and Landscape Navigation capabilities.

This concept introduces a set of functionalities that enable users to explore their contract and landscape across time and dimensions in a transparent and user-friendly way.

Time Travel – Navigate through time for both actual and planned views.

Filter – Focus on relevant elements by filtering the landscape based on key attributes. 

Landscape Plate Navigation – Rotate and move between different landscape “plates” to gain multiple perspectives.

By enabling time-based exploration and targeted filtering, this concept supports informed decision‑making and proactive landscape management

Time Travel

Allow users to move backward and forward within the duration of their contract to view changes and understand the related timeframe in which those changes are effective.

Filter

Enables users to refine the view by filtering the landscape based on:

Solution /System Types/Labels

The concept typically includes the following components:

• Time Slider for time travel
• Filter for solution, system type, and label selection
• Landscape View with plate-based navigation

Improved Transparency: Clear visibility of how the landscape changes over time

Better Planning: Ability to anticipate future states and prepare accordingly

Navigation: Easier understanding of complex landscapes through plate rotation

Risk Reduction: Early identification of conflicts or dependencies

This concept is often used in conjunction with:

• Tools
• Architecture and landscape visualization applications
• Planning and roadmap 

User experience should prioritize clarity, responsiveness, and performance.
