Overview tab

This tab displays the instance label in a read/write mode. It also shows information on the instance in a read-only mode and provides access to the other tabs of the instance.

Two sections do not correspond to tabs and are displayed in the Overview tab only. These sections are Alerts and Action Items and General information.

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.
The General information section 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.

For more information, see 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
The label is displayed in a read/write mode.
