Model Explorer

Go Up to ER Tools

ER Tools > Model Explorer

The Model Explorer page provides a hierarchical-based navigation of the repository projects and workspaces. This hierarchy displays the project name or workspace name, diagram, model, submodel, data dictionary, and data lineage of every project included on the Repository.

When you browse the resources in the hierarchy, you can:

• Click the link on any ER object to open its ER object page, which provides detailed information about the ER object and links to related ER object pages.

• Hover models, submodels, data flows, and diagrams to show a tooltip with additional information, such as modification date, last editor, children count, etc. When you hover an ER object with on its right-hand side, the tooltip includes a miniature image of the ER object.

Click Refresh Tree to update the contents of the tree view without refreshing the page.

Note: Refreshing the tree collapses most tree view nodes, leaving only the main node and both the Projects and Workspaces nodes visible.

Using the nodes and resources on the Model Explorer

The various nodes and resources in the tree view of the Model Explorer are indicated by icons and labels. This is how the list of nodes and resources appears when the Repository is empty:

• <Team Server Domain Name>
  • Projects
  • Workspaces

Some nodes in the tree view provide one or more of the following actions:

Action	Description
