 With the filter menu located at the top right of the diagram you can display additional information, e.g. the input and output work products, the responsible roles, the phases, or the interfaces (= where the current activity flow consumes or produces work products from or for other flows). You can also choose to see the whole diagram on one screen ("Fit to page") for best overview, or with scroll bars for best detail understanding. With the filter menu located at the top right of the diagram you can display additional information, e.g. the input and output work products, the responsible roles, the phases, or the interfaces (= where the current activity flow consumes or produces work products from or for other flows).
