Data Elements View

Use the Data Elements view to view the simple and structured data elements for a selected entity and to perform operations on those data elements.

The Data Elements view is linked to the Solution view, the Studio Projects view, and the Package Explorer view. When you make a selection in any of these views, Design Studio updates the content in the Data Elements view based on the active selection. The Data Elements view enables you to view all data elements associated with the selected entity and to perform operations on the data elements, without needing to open the related editor.

For example, when a Data Schema entity is selected in the Solutions view, you can right-click in the Data Elements view to add data elements to the selected data schema. If a Product specification is selected in the Studio Projects view, you can view the data elements defined on the product in the Data Elements view, and perform refactoring operations. See "Refactoring Entities and Data Elements" for more information about the operations that you can perform on data elements in this view.
