Viewing Node Locations

The Locations tab identifies all locations of a selected node in a hierarchy viewpoint. Multiple locations for the same node can be visualized together and you can navigate to any location where a node exists. Locations are grouped by parent and can be viewed in a collapsed or expanded format. Property values for each location can be displayed to determine similarities or differences across locations.

For shared nodes that exist in multiple locations in a hierarchy viewpoint, the Locations tab provides an easy way to:

• Identify all of the locations - including the full ancestry of the node

• Navigate to any of the locations to browse or modify data

• Visually compare properties for the node in different locations

  Note:

  The properties that display in the Locations tab are configured in the viewpoint inspector. For more information, see Configuring Locations Tab Properties.

Tip:

Even if a node doesn't exist in multiple locations, the Locations tab provides a list of ancestors for the node. Expand the ancestry list to navigate to any of the node's ancestors.

To view node locations:

1. Open a view and select a hierarchy viewpoint.

2. Expand a hierarchy and select a node.

3. Click the Locations tab.

   
   
   
4. Do any of the following to navigate in the Locations tab:

   • Click the expand button to see the node's ancestry.

   • In the expanded view, click any of the node's ancestors to navigate to that node.

   • Click the navigate button to go to a different location of the node in the viewpoint.

   Note:

   In the collapsed view, you can navigate to the node only. You cannot navigate to a node's ancestor from the collapsed view. In the expanded view, you can navigate to the node or you can navigate directly to an ancestor of the node.
