The define views page

The Define Views page provides a GUI for filtering views into the Rhapsody® model. These views can simplify monitoring and controlling maintenance and help you focus on key elements of your models.

The Define Views page, as shown in the following figure, enables you to create and name a view of selected elements. The page includes a list of check boxes next to all the available elements that can be included in the view, and their corresponding element types. Click each element or aggregate to drill down to a graphical representation of the element value, or its aggregate collection of name-value pairs.

Define Views page

To design a view:

  1. Check the boxes next to each element you want to include in your view. To include all elements, click Select All.
  2. Type the name of your view in the Name of view box.

    The Reset button clears the name you entered and all of your selections.
  3. Click Submit.

The new view name displays towards the end of the element table, next to its check box, with "view" as its type.

Note: All views created from the Define Views page store in memory and will not be saved when you close Rhapsody . To learn how you can back up and restore the views you have defined, see the readme file provided in <product installation path>\Share\MakeTmpl\Web\BackupViews.
