The Overview tab of a Library displays
the label in a read/write mode. It also displays
information specific to the instance in a read-only mode and provides
access to the other tabs of the instance.
Description of the tab
Two sections
are not tabs themselves. They are displayed in the
Overview tab only:
Alerts and Action Items and
General information.
All the other sections
provide links to the corresponding editor tabs.
If information
is displayed in each section, you can:
- Click it if it is displayed as a link. You automatically switch
to where the information has been specified.
- Or click the More button to switch to the
corresponding tab.
If no information is displayed in the section, click
the arrows located in front of the section name. It gives you access
to the More button. Click it to access the
corresponding tab.
The sections of the tab
- Alerts and Action Items
- Any problem related to the current instance (for example: if the
instance calls another instance which has been deleted...) is displayed
here as a link. If you click this link, you automatically switch to
the Problems view, where the line corresponding
to the error is highlighted. The error is clearly explained and you
can correct it.
General information displays
the following fields:
- Work context
- The work context is the project from which you have opened the
editor of the current instance. This project constitutes the starting
point for the resolution of the dynamic links and references between
the instances contained in the various projects of the location. The
projects hierarchy 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 which constitutes the work context is the lowest project
of the hierarchy.
More information can be found in the following
topics: The work context and The design build path.

when the instance is created and cannot be modified later.
