Logical View Overview tab

The Overview tab of a Logical View editor displays the name and the label of the Logical View instance in a read/write mode and information entered in the different tabs of the editor. You can modify or specify the information in the dedicated tabs. To access these tabs, click directly the tabs, or click the buttons in the different sections of the Overview tab.

Description of the tab

Three sections are not tabs. They are displayed in the Overview tab only: Alerts and Action Items, General information, and Generation parameters definition (on some entities).

All the other sections provide links to the corresponding editor tabs.

The sections of the tab

Alerts and Action Items
Any problem that is related to the current instance is displayed in this section as a link. If you click this link, you automatically switch to the Problems view, where the line that corresponds to the error is highlighted. The error is explained and you can correct it.
General information displays the following fields:
Work context
The work context is the project from which you open the editor of the current instance. This project constitutes the starting point for the resolution of the dynamic links and references between the instances of the various projects. The projects hierarchy that is declared in the design build path is explored in an upward direction.

If you click Hierarchy, you can see a partial view of the design build path. In this view, the project that constitutes the work context is the lowest project of the hierarchy.

More information can be found in the following links: The work context and The design build path.

Name
The instance name is displayed in read-only mode. It is entered when the instance is created, and it cannot be modified later.
Label
Enter the label that identifies the instance. It will constitute a search criterion for a subsequent search.
Definition
This section displays the number of occurrences and Transfer direction values in a read-only mode. The definition can be modified or completed in the Definition tab. Click More to switch to this tab and find the data-entry fields.
