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,

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.
