Modifying the instances list display

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:
  1. Open the Pacbase explorer view.
  2. 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.
  3. By clicking the downward arrow (Menu), you can see three contextual menus:
    1. the Sort menu, sort the list of entity instances by name or library,
    2. the Display menu, displays the label and/or library code beside the instance name,
    3. 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 Filter > On, 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.
  4. 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.
