Using the Explore Menu

The Explore menu allows you to navigate through Registry and Repository content by using the metaphor of a hierarchy of file folders. The root folder, which is named root, contains all Registry content.

To Use the Explore Menu

Steps

1. Click the Explore link.

2. Expand the folder root. This folder contains two subfolders: userData, where all user content is placed, and ClassificationSchemes.

3. Click a folder to view the registry objects of that type. Expand a node to view the object types at the next level.

Next Steps

When you have finished, click Hide Explorer to close the Explore menu and to clear the results area.
