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.
Here is 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, refresh the active connection,
or directly open the editor.
- By clicking the downward arrow (Menu), you
can see three contextual menus:
- the Sort menu, sort the list of entity
instances 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 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 entities instances that belong to the current library will appear
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 click it and then click the 'Forward to' arrow 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 'Back to' arrow to switch
to the former view.
