A visual description of how application functions and services are integrated with each other, both in a certain application module and between application modules. The description illustrates how data is sent between application tasks.

Purpose 

The IM-view consists of a detailed image of integrations of physical application tasks. 

Way of Working

  1. Choose a few logically related application modules, for instance from a flow or a process.
  2. Identify those application functions and application services that are included in that flow.
  3. Identify those application tasks that are included in the flow.
  4. Place application tasks in a way that makes it easy to follow the flow at the same time that it is possible to group them based on functions and services.
  5. Drag relations from the data that is sent. 
  6. Place the modules and applications as background.
