Change the objects to include in a map

By default, Database Navigator searches for and includes all objects in your map. To limit the number of objects that are searched for, you can change the user preferences.

To change which objects to include in the map:

  1. In the System i Navigator window, expand the system you want to use.
  2. Expand Databases.
  3. Click Database Navigator Maps.
  4. Double-click the map in which you would like to change the objects.
  5. From the Options menu, select User Preferences.
  6. On the User Preferences dialog, in the When adding an object to the map find these related objects box, select the objects you want to include, or deselect the objects you don't want to include.
  7. Click OK. An Information box appears.
  8. If you want to refresh the map with the new preferences, click Yes on the Information box.

Note: These choices will apply to all maps you subsequently create.
