Features

The Integration Builder offers the following navigation options:

·        Navigation in the navigation area

In the navigation area, you can navigate between objects in a tree structure. To call up the object editor Display/Change <Object> by positioning the cursor on an object icon () and

¡        double-clicking, or

¡        choosing Open () in the context menu.

·        Navigation between object editors

You can navigate between the object editors you have opened by

¡        choosing the buttons  (Forwards) and  (Back) (or Navigation ® Forwards or Navigation ® Back in the main menu)

The commands Forwards and Back always refer to the sequence in which you call the object editors.

¡        paging between the object editors you have opened, as with tab pages.

The tab index of the tab pages is located on the bottom edge of the object editor. It also shows the name and object type symbol of the object. The tab indexes are another way of navigating at the bottom of the screen.

If you open too many object editors, and not all tab indexes can be displayed on the bottom edge of the screen, the editors you opened last cover the other editors. Other symbols appear on the bottom right edge, which offer the following navigation options:

¡         Click this icon to display a list of the names of all opened objects. Select a name to put the corresponding object editor on top.

¡        Click this icon to put hidden tab pages on top and display the corresponding object. Click  to cancel this action.

·        Navigating forwards between different objects

In an object editor, you can navigate to the object editor of another object by double-clicking an object name.

You can only do this for object editors that display the names of other objects.

In the editor Display/Change Message Interface you can double-click the name of a message type to navigate to the editor Display Message Type.

·        Detaching an object editor window from the main window

Choose Detach Object from Main Window () to detach an object editor window from the main Integration Builder window, or to attach it again. You can then use the cursor to move the object editor (while pressing the left mouse button). It no longer appears as a tab page.

You cannot use the navigation buttons ( and ) to navigate between detached objects.
