Configuring the Object Explorer

---

Siebel Tools allows you to configure the top-level object types that are visible in the Object Explorer. This feature allows you to view objects with which you normally work and provides a more efficient workspace. For example, the objects shown in Figure 19 could be fewer in number, or more. You can change the top-level objects displayed using the Development Tools Options dialog box.

To configure the object types that are visible in the object explorer

Choose View > Options.

The Development Tools Options dialog box appears.

Select the Object Explorer tab shown in the following figure. This option controls what object types will be shown.
To make a top level object visible, move it from the Available top level objects box on the left to the Visible top level objects box on the right.
Clicking the Default button takes you back to the initial settings that came with Siebel Tools.

If you click the arrow on the Project box (shown in Figure 20), you have the option of choosing **All Projects** or **My Locked Projects**. This allows you to filter the object types present in the Explorer and also the information shown in the lists, which reduces the display of unnecessary data. When you choose My Locked Projects, for example, the Object Explorer displays only those object types belonging to the projects you have previously checked out. Choosing only one project is another way to limit the display of object types. This would be an advantage if you were modifying only those object types in, for example, the Account (TAS) project. The particular objects you need to work on are easier to find and operations within Siebel Tools run more swiftly.
