5. On the right border, click the button labeled Search Repository. In the Search window, use VOLTA Simple or VOLTA Advanced from the pull down menu under New Search

  1. From the Select item type pull down menu, select the VOLTA artifact type to be searched for. In our example in Figure 6, this is Folder.

  2. Using VOLTA Simple to search by Text, enter a text string in the Name Contains field from the name of the VOLTA folder to search for. In our example, we entered DEMO and clicked Search. The result(s) of the search are shown on the right, as in Figure 6.

  3. To search by ID, enter a text string with the VOLTA ID in the ID field. The version-independent VOLTA ID (externalKey or externalID) can be reported by right-clicking on an element to Get Info and checking in the Notification window at the bottom of the dashboard.

  4. If you select the VOLTA Advanced option before searching, you may enter a query in VQL (VOLTA Query Language) for the search.  See VOLTA documentation for a discussion of VQL.

7. To create a reference connection between a VOLTA item and an element in another repository, go to the Connection Manager tab, select and expand the VOLTA repository in one column and the second repository in the other. In our example in Figure 7, we have opened the MagicDraw model on the left and VOLTA on the right.

  1. Select Reference as the Connection Type in the center column.

  2. Create a reference connection by dragging an element in one column on top of an element in the other. Confirm that you want to create a reference connection. In our example, we dragged the Functional_Reqts requirement in SysML onto the MyPlan plan in VOLTA.

Note: In Syndeia release 3.5, it is not possible The capability to create Model Transform inter-model connections to VOLTA. Some use cases of this type with VOLTA may be added in future releases.

...

9. The reference link can be used to detect changes in the VOLTA plan from the Syndeia dashboard.

  1. Edit the VOLTA plan opened in the previous step and save a new version.

  2. In the Connection Search tab of the Syndeia dashboard, click Get All to ensure that all connections are showing. Right-click the reference connection just created and select Compare Source and Target, as in Figure 9.
