If you install OrgDesigner, you have the choice to install examples as well. Here the examples currently available are described.

Available: Demo Company, AutoGen.

 

Demo Company

The Demo Company is a company producing metal components for copier-manufacturers. The raw material consist of plates and coils of metal, and the components can be simple (1 piece) or complex (a frame). Some products are in stock, others are manufactured on demand.

Imagine the company busy in implementing a new Information System. They have chosen to implement a standard software package.

Have a look at the Generated HTML or Generated XML ( XML-enabled browser required like IE).

In this project you will find the following:

1. A description of the Organization in a few Organization Diagrams, showing the features of the diagrams. Initially they were made to make the external consultants familiar with the company. Later they were used to assign activities to Organization Units and Positions.
2. Some Activity Diagrams to show the new way of working. First it was used to design and document the new situation, later it was used for testing and training purposes.
In the project you will find a detailed description of the Sales process. Notice how the diagrams are linked.
3. An Activity Diagram (Diagram Sales Order processing I/O) to show all Input and output of activity Sales. This diagram is generated directly with the new diagram wizard (option Input/Output diagram).
4. An Hierarchical Activity Diagram to show the decomposition of the sales-process
5. A Communication Diagrams to show the overview of the communication. If you have a look at the properties of the flows, you can exactly see which products (or information, documents) are exchanged.
6. A Matrix to show an overview of the involved positions in the Sales process.
7. Some documents (made with Microsoft Word 97):
Design.doc: a document used when designing the new situation. No structured reference was created: the diagram was copied from OrgDesigner via the Clipboard.
8. Generated HTML-documents (folder DemoComp\sites\Site1\html_gen). These documents can be put on an intranet to give everybody in the project / company quick and up-to-date access to the company-information.
The framework is made with a HTML-editor, and most of the contents is generated directly with OrgDesigner.
You can use and adapt the files to your own style.
9. Generated XML-documents (folder DemoComp\sites\Site1\xml_gen). These documents can serve the same purpose as HTML-documents. The difference is that all the data of one ObjectType is put in one file. So this will be a bit easier to manage. Another advantage is that when you alter the layout (the .xsl-files), the layout is directly changed for all the objects that use that xsl for formatting. If you want a global change in layout with HTML, you have to generate the files again after adapting the templates.
The framework is made with a HTML-editor, and most of the contents is generated directly with OrgDesigner. Note: this example can only be used with an XML-enabled browser, like Microsoft Internet Explorer (4 and higher).
You can use and adapt the files to your own style.
10. Several relations with the external world:
  1. A relation between the Activity Diagram 'Sales' and a document 'SalesDet.htm'.
  2. A relation between the Activity 'Sales Order Processing' and a document 'SalesGuide.doc'.

You will find this example in the DemoComp-folder, after installing OrgDesigner.

AutoGen

This example demonstrates the OLE-capabilities of OrgDesigner. The goal is to automatically generate diagrams from the organization-data that is stored in a relational database.

The Example is made with Microsoft Access 97 (and can be easily upgraded to 2000 or XP). Download OrgDesigner and see the on-line Help Documentation for more information.
