Interface

The collaborative modeling environment is based on a client-server architecture. It is quite unecessary for those wishing only to model to concern themselves with the details of the server; therefore, this section outlines the new features of the Client application only.

The GUI for the Enterprise Edition is very similar to the Professional Edition, but with some additions. As the Professional Edition features and functionalities are covered elsewhere in this manual, this section is not intended as an exhaustive list of the Enterprise Edition GUI. Rather, it is an addendum containing those features that are exclusive to the Enterprise Edition.

Toolbar

The toolbar of the Enterprise Edition changes depending on the connection to the Poseidon Collaboration Server. When not connected, the toolbar looks identical to the Professional Edition toolbar.

However, functions change while engaged in a collaboration. It no longer makes sense to save a project locally, and to make this difference clear the save button changes. Likewise, functions that are irrelevant while outside of a collaboration such as locking and access to the Collaboration Manager become visible.
