Changing which objects are displayed in the Object List

You can use the navigation breadcrumb trail to change which objects are displayed in the Object List.

About this task

The Object List displays the list of objects for a particular object type. For example, the table spaces that are in the database might be displayed. If you want to see the list of schemas that are in the database, instead of clicking an object type folder in the Administration Explorer, you can use the navigation breadcrumb trail in the Object List to change which objects are displayed.

Procedure

To change which objects are displayed for the database, complete the following steps:

  1. In the navigation breadcrumb trail, click the drop-down arrow that is displayed after the database name. In the following example, GSDB is the name of the database.
    Figure 1. Example of using a drop-down arrow in the navigation breadcrumb trail to select other objects to display

  2. From the drop-down menu, click the object type that you want to be displayed in the Object List. For example, click Schemas.

    The Object List is refreshed to display the objects for the object type that you chose.

What to do next

You can use a similar process to change which host, instance, or database is being displayed. Use the drop-down arrows that are displayed before the icons for each of these objects in the navigation breadcrumb trail.
