A Pacbase explorer view toolbar is displayed at the top of the Pacbase
explorer view window, directly underneath the menu bar, it is
used to modify the way the list of items is displayed in the view, under a
connection repository.
Before you begin
You can perform the following actions from the toolbar in the Pacbase
explorer view:
- Open the Pacbase explorer view.
- In the instance list, click the icons in the upper right-hand corner
of the view to expand or collapse the lists of instances, refresh the active
connection.
- By clicking the downward arrow, which is the View menu,
you can see three contextual menus:
- the Sort menu, sort entity instances
in the lists by name or library,
- the Display menu, displays the label
and/or library code beside the instance name,
- with the Filter menu, you choose to apply
or not a filter to the current list of instances. The filter criterion is
the view you choose in the Library manager tab, in the Pacbase explorer perspective.
And if you select , only the entities that are not excluded by the filter selected
in the Library Manager will be displayed.
Example: if you choose the '(U) Current only' view in
the Library manager, then only the entity instances that belong to the current
library will be displayed in the Pacbase explorer view and all above, lower
library and doubles will be excluded from the list display.
If you choose Off, then no filter will be applied
to the list.
- Double-click an entity or an instance in a connection repository
or select it and then click the
button in the toolbar and the selected item displays
in a new view. Thus, you can see only the entities and their instances belonging
to the current connection repository. The other connection repositories don't
show up in the new view. Click the
button to switch to the former view.
