Reading

Types of device

You can read the model on different types of device, from small smart phones to tablets, laptops and larger screen devices such as a desk top computer or “smart TV”. On a small screen, the menu bar will collapse but all the functionality is still available, however the site will try to use the full screen. On larger screens, there is an option to either focus the content in the middle of the screen or occupy the full width by clicking the Screen menu item. The default is to focus on the middle of the screen.

Printing

When printing, the menus are hidden so you can focus on the main content.

There are three ways to find details about modelled concepts.

1. If you know the name of the concept, you can search for the item using the Search box on the menu. On small screens, a search icon replaces the search box.
2. You can browse through the different areas of the model listed in the Topics menu
3. You can browse through a list of all the concepts in the model (including any alternative names for them) using the All Concepts menu.
