Using the Browse Dialog Box

Use the Browse dialog box to navigate to and select an object to bring into the dialog box from which you entered the Browse dialog box. Depending on the task you are performing, you can then perform relevant actions on the object, such as configuring permissions for the object and applying constraints to it.

The Browse dialog box is accessible from a number of dialog boxes that allow you to make a selection from among existing objects.

The left pane of the Browse dialog box contains a tree control listing all of the objects in the Presentation Layer, Business Model and Mapping Layer and the Physical Layer of a repository. The tabs at the bottom of the left pane allow you to select between the layers. Depending on the task you are performing, you will see only the layers that contain objects that can be manipulated in the context of the dialog box from which you entered the Browse dialog box.

The right pane of the Browse dialog box contains a facility to query objects in the repository by name and type. The Name field accepts an asterisk (*) as the wild card character, so you can query for partial matches.

To query for an object in the Browse dialog box

  1. Select the object type from the Type drop-down list.
  2. Enter the name of the object or a part of the name and the wild card character (*) in the Name field

    3. For example, to search for logical tables that have names beginning with the letter Q, select Logical Tables from the Type drop-down list, and then enter Q* in the Name field.

  3. Click the Query button.

    4. Relevant objects appear in the query results list.
