Model View Toolbar

Go Up to The Model View

You can use the icons on this toolbar to refresh, filter, and navigate through the Model View tree. You can also synchronize with a diagram, and group by element type.

Toolbar Icon	Element	Description
	Refresh the Entire Model View	Updates all the nodes in the Model View tree.
	Collapse All	Collapses the tree expansion of all the resources in the view.
	Expand All	Expands all the nodes in the tree including all diagrams.
	Sync with Diagram	If this command is selected, whenever an element in the Model View tree is selected, that element is selected in the diagram. The sync option is on by default.   Note: : Right-click on an element in a diagram and select the command “Find in Model View” to locate an element in the Model View tree.
	Model View Filter	Opens the Model View Filter dialog.
	Grouping by Object Type	Groups items in the Model View tree by element type. This is a toggle switch.

Model View Filter

You can use this filter to hide or show business process modeling elements, conceptual elements, reference objects, data objects, and drawing shapes in the Model View tree. When you click , the Model View Filter dialog opens. You can filter out elements based on a general type, or a specific element. A status bar located in the lower right-hand corner of the application displays the status of the filter (off or on). Also, if the filter is in use, it is indicated on the Model View tab.

Note: If you want to hide the Incoming Relationships grouping node, clear the checkboxes of all the connecting objects in the filter.

Using the Text Filter Option

If you only want elements with a certain name or by a certain alpha character to appear in the tree:

1 Click to open the Model View Filter dialog.

2 Select the Text Filter icon and the text box is now available.

3 Enter the name you want to base the filter on. There are several different options:

• If you enter an alpha character followed by an asterisk, all elements with the entered alpha character will appear in the tree. For example, if you entered “T*” in the text box, elements shown would include not only “Tasks” but “My Tasks” as well because a sCpace is used in the name.
• Also shown are elements that are connected to an element with the selected criteria. For example, if you have a gateway labeled “GateOne” connected to a sequence flow named “To Task One”, if you have filtered on “T*”, both the gateway and the sequence flow appear in the Model View tree.
• Also, you can enter an alpha character followed by a question mark as a single character “wild card” search. For example, if you entered “T?sk” the filter would show all names beginning in “T” and ending with “sk” in the Model View tree.

Note: The text filter is not case-sensitive. For example if the object name is “JOE”, both “joe” and JOE” would be the filter for that object.

Grouping by Object Type

This is a toggle command in the Model View toolbar. When this command is selected all diagrams and elements in the Model View tree are grouped by type.

• Within each node, elements are grouped by element type (tasks, gateways, etc.).
• Element Type header icons include a folder indicator ().

Note: Element type groupings can also be turned off under Preferences.

• Under each node or header, items are sorted alphabetically, unless there is a sequence associated with an element (lanes, for example).
