I have what I would call an architecture diagram consisting of organizational, functional, and systems data. I’d like to show a list of systems supporting a given function. This is simple using “CONNECTED” when only systems are connected to functions, but tying organizational entities to functions then adds those to the list. Is there a way to “filter” results to only one object class (systems) and filter out organizational shapes?
Answer
Use formulas to show a list of supported systems for a given function

Hi
If so, it should be possible to use the formula =CONNECTED."Property name" to get all shapes' shape data property and specify a property. You can see this section of our formulas documentation for more details.
If that is not the case for you, could you please share an example screenshot (feel free to create a simple version or censor any important information!) of your use-case? This will help us take a closer look on our end!
I hope this helps! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,
Can you attach an example of what you are trying to do ? Are you trying to do conditional formatting using Lucid formulae ?

No conditional formatting. Let’s say I have a Business Function, and I have organizations related showing ownership, and systems related showing their support / execution of the function. I want to display the list of systems on the Business Function shape but not the organization(s). So when I use “CONNECTED,” I get both systems and organizations returned. I want to filter out organizations.

+15Hi
For any other users with a similar question, you should be able to achieve this using the following formula. Please see the linked community post for more details:
=COUNTIF(SHAPETYPE(CONNECTED(THIS)), x => x != "Line")
I hope this helps. Feel free to let us know if you have any questions!
