Build your first diagram

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create a diagram and add, edit and delete elements.

Step 1: In the new project, click + NEW DIAGRAM. Enter a Diagram Name, select Incident Investigation in Diagram Type and choose a template if you have one. Click CREATE.

Step 2: Drag elements from the left of the Diagram Editor into the diagram. Start by placing an Event, Barrier or Consequence, then add a cause, underlying cause and root cause beneath them.

Step 3: To edit an element, double-click it and rename it. You can also edit it in the Element Description Box on the right of the Diagram Editor, where you can rename it, add a description, add a timestamp, add actions and more.

Step 4: To delete an element, double-click it, then click DELETE ELEMENT in the toolbar. To delete an entire node, double-click the Threat or Consequence element of the node, then click DELETE ELEMENT. This permanently deletes the selected element and its children, and cannot be undone once saved.
