Hierarchy: Changing the Display

Hierarchy: Refresh

You can refresh the display to show any changes made to the hierarchy caused by changes to the graphic by other users or by your own Data Modeler calls by choosing Edit  Refresh. The new display corresponds to the current state in the database.

Hierarchy: Expand Subtree

If you want to see any objects located below a submodel (that is, objects assigned to the data model), proceed as follows:

1. Position the cursor on the name of the data model.

2. Choose Edit  Expand Subtree.

Alternatively, you can click on the symbol to the left of the data model name.

Hierarchy: Compress Subtree

If you do not want to see any objects located below a submodel (that is, objects assigned to the data model), proceed as follows:

1. Position the cursor on the name of the data model.

2. Choose Edit  Compress Subtree.

Alternatively, you can click on the symbol to the left of the data model name.

Hierarchy: Set focus

If you want another data model to become the root of the display, so that you can display or edit the objects located below it, proceed as follows:

1. Position the cursor on the data model that is to become the new root of the display.

2. Choose Edit  Set Focus.

A line appears above the new display, showing the path from the root of the previous display to the new root.

You can turn it into the root of the display by double-clicking on one of the path definitions.
