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.
An error is displayed, for example, if you try to modify
an Input that is already called in an instance.
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

when the instance is created, and it cannot be modified later.

a search criterion for a subsequent search.
