Displaying The Annotation Values of an Active CDS View

You can display the annotation values of a CDS view, its elements, and its parameters in the Active annotations view. If the values are inherited from underlying data sources or data elements, you can navigate to these development objects.

Prerequisites

The DDL source you are currently editing has already been activated.

Context

You can open the Active annotations view from the Project Explorer as follows:

Procedure

Open the context menu on a DDL source.
Choose Open with Active Annotations .

Note
Alternatively, you can open the same context menu from the DDL editor of a CDS view.

Results

The Active Annotations view is opened in the structured mode. It displays all the CDS annotations that are defined in the CDS view itself or are inherited from the underlying data sources or data elements.
