This article includes an example of a configurable graph config item definition that includes an implicit connection (in-out port). The connection type mimics that of the SWExtension.ComponentGraph. The two connected items point to the same port, but with different part types.

</Graph> <MappingImplicit> has two required attributes.
id identifies the mapping configuration. It is a string value that must be unique within a graph.
caption is the connect option caption text.
<OutPort> defines the OutPort part to be connected. The partType attribute must provide the part type SID.
<InPort> defines the InPort part to be connected. The partType attribute must provide the part type SID.
Example Result
When selecting a port and a component to connect the port to, the configured connection options will be available. This enables users to work graphically directly in the view.
