Is there an update pack for the meta-model changes (v6.16 - v6.18)?
Great that v6.18 (OS) is now released - fantastic job btw. And am certainly liking the new summary view styling.
Cheers

Hi, After some advice on how best to document the various Governance Bodies that exist in our organisation. I see the Governance Body class has a slot that points to a Group Actor but using that appears to simply create a whole bunch of "orphan" group actors that are not part of a hierarch...

Business Capability Dashboard - Display Order
Hi, A, probably, really silly question: Can I change the order of display for the level 1 Business Capabilities on the Business Capability Dashboard view? It looks like the order of display is arbitrarily the order in which they were created - am I correct n that assumption? I base that analysis on ...
