Displaying Object Types in the Object Explorer


This topic describes how to display object types in the Object Explorer.

To display object types in the Object Explorer

  1. Log in to Siebel Tools.
  2. Choose the View menu, and then the Options menu item.
  3. Click the Object Explorer tab.
  4. Scroll down through the Object Explorer Hierarchy window until you locate the object type you must display.
  5. Make sure the object type you must display includes a check mark, using values from the following table.
    Check Box State
    Description

    Display this object and all child objects of this object.

    Hide this object and all child objects of this object.

    Display this object. Display some child objects and hide some child objects.

    If you add a check mark to a top-level object type, such as Applet, then Siebel Tools adds a check mark to all child objects that the Applet contains. You can expand the parent tree to display only some child objects. A top-level object type is an object type that resides at the top of the object hierarchy. The object types that the Object Explorer displays immediately after you install Siebel Tools, but before you expand any object types in the Object Explorer, are top-level object types.

  6. (Optional) To restore the Object Explorer to the settings that exist when you first install Siebel Tools, click Default.
  7. Click OK.
