entities. However, some are specific to an entity. The list of the
User Entities is displayed in the Meta Entity only, and the Entity section
is specific to the Meta Entity Type.

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.
The
General information section
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 upon a subsequent search.
