Defining Dictionary View Preferences

The Dictionary View Preferences page enables you to configure the manner in which Design Studio initially filters the entities that appear in the Dictionary view, when viewing entity types in an editor that is linked to the Dictionary view.

Filtering options enable you to determine the types of entities that initially appear for entities in a specific project type or for all projects in the workspace, and for each entity type within a project.

To define Dictionary view preferences:

1. In Design Studio, from the Window menu select Preferences.

   The Preferences dialog box appears.

2. In the Preferences dialog box menu tree, select Oracle Design Studio and then select Dictionary view.

   The Dictionary view preferences page appears.

3. In the Select Cartridge Project Type field, select an option to define filter options for entities in a specific project type.

4. In the Entity types column, select an entity type to define the filtering options for that entity type.

5. In the Default Entity Filter Types column, do any of the following:

   • Click Select to add additional default entity filter types to the entity type configuration.

   • Select any of the default entity filter types and click Remove to remove the filter type from the entity type configuration.

6. Click OK.

   Design Studio adds updates the Default Entity Type Filter Types column. The next time you open the entity type in an editor (and if you have linked the editor with the Dictionary view), the Dictionary view initially displays all available entities of the defined types in the project or in any dependent projects.
