The elements and relationships that constitute an ArchiMate model as represented in the Model Tree can be arranged into one or more "Views" or visual diagrams. Therefore an ArchiMate model can consist of one or more Views where each View can display the model elements in various configurations. For example, you may wish to only see the Business Layer elements in one View and the model's Application Interface elements in another View. Or you may wish to create a "master" View that acts as a map to all of the other Views in the model.
ArchiMate advocates an approach in which architects and other stakeholders can define their own Views on the enterprise architecture. In this approach, Views are specified by viewpoints. Viewpoints define abstractions on the set of models representing the enterprise architecture, each aimed at a particular type of stakeholder and addressing a particular set of concerns. Viewpoints can both be used to view certain aspects in isolation, and for relating two or more aspects.
In Archi a View is unlimited in scope according to the available elements and relations, and it is up to the designer to impose any constraints for a given viewpoint as prescribed by the ArchiMate specification.
