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. You can then perform appropriate actions on the object, such as 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 the following parts:
  • A tree listing all of the objects in the Presentation Layer, Business Model and Mapping Layer and the Physical Layer of a repository.
  • Tabs at the bottom of the left pane allow you to select a layer. You will see only tabs for the layers that contain objects that can be manipulated in the dialog box from which you entered the Browse dialog box.
• The right pane of the Browse dialog box contains the following parts:
  • Query allows you 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.
  • The Show Qualified Names check box allows you to see to which parents an object belongs.
  • View allows you to view properties of a selected object in read-only mode.

To query for an object in the Browse dialog box

1. Select the object type from the Type drop-down list.
2. Type the name of the object or a part of the name and the wild card character (*) in the Name field. See the following examples:
   • To search for logical tables that have names beginning with the letter Q, select Logical Tables from the Type drop-down list, and then type Q* in the Name field.
   • To search for logical tables that have names ending with the letters dim, type *dim in the name field.
3. Click the Query button.

   Relevant objects appear in the query results list.

To select an object in the Browse dialog box

• Select the object you want to select, and then click Select.

  The Browse dialog box closes, and the object appears in the dialog box from which you entered the Browse dialog box.

To synchronize an object in the query results list with the tree control list

1. Select an object in the Query list.
2. Click the Synchronize Contents icon.
