Colors
Horizon is the default visual style for SAP Products. Its color balance helps to draw the user’s attention to the essential information and functions. It also promotes a distinct and consistent look throughout all products. This also applies to diagrams.
Primary
The primary colors represent the overall look and feel.

Accent/Emphasized
Secondary colors can be applied to accentuate important elements. They make a vivid contribution to the overall UI and should be used sparingly.

Line Styles
Arrow types in system architectures often represent various communication forms. Their meaning, which can vary based on the specific notation or individual definitions, isn't universally standardized. Generally, a solid arrow means direct communication, while a dashed arrow implies indirect communication. Including a legend in each diagram is crucial to clarify these meanings.
Recommended styles for BAIP Solution Diagrams are:
- Solid lines for direct, synchronous request-response data flows
- Dashed lines for indirect, asynchronous data flows
- Dotted lines for optional data flows
- Thick lines for firewalls only
Spacing
Good spacing helps making a diagram look clean and professional. Make sure Elements have enough space to “breathe”. To ensure you have good spacing, this you can follow a rule of thumb: Spacing around objects should be even and roughly the height of the SAP Logo.
