3.2 Root Layers
Three top-level anchors — Core, Transport, and Edge — that define the hierarchy of your architecture.
Written By Miro Kosut
A root layer is the top-level group on your canvas — the starting point of any architecture. Tap + in the Dock when nothing is selected to create one. There are three types:
Core → central locations such as data centers and cloud providers.
Transport → intermediate locations such as service providers.
Edge → user locations such as campuses, branches, and remote access.
They're ordered top-to-bottom in that hierarchy. If you add a Core and an Edge, Enfors automatically inserts a Transport layer between them.
Each root layer is an independent tree. Root layers can't be cloned or moved — they're anchors.
