Views
Views are individual windows in InfoSphere® MDM Workbench that contain specific types of data. Most views can be moved to different areas of the screen by dragging and dropping their tabs.
To change views, select the Window menu and click Show View. You can then choose from various views.

- Select a working set of files (and hide files not used in the working set)

- Compare files with the local history
- Compare a file with another file
- Replace a file with one from the local history
- Replace a file with another file
If the Navigator view is hidden, select and double-click Navigator.
Properties view
The Properties view enables you to view to edit the property values of any component you create.
If the Properties view is hidden, select and double-click Properties.
Problems view
The Problems view provides a list of configuration and validation problems in InfoSphere MDM Workbench. Most validations are done when file resources in the project are saved, so errors appear instantly. Double-click a problem in the view to go to the item that generated the error. For more information, see Validation tasks in the Problems view.
If the Problems view is hidden, click and double-click Problems.
Console view
The Console view shows progress messages and errors during extensive background tasks.
If the Console view is hidden, click and double-click Console.
Jobs view
The Jobs view shows progress or completion status for job sets executed from the jobs wizard. Click the + icon to expand the job and view output details, and click the - icon to collapse it.
If the view is hidden, click and double-click Jobs.
Analytics view
The Analytics view displays the results of an analytics query. You must create a connection to the operational server and then specify a query to run in order to see data in this view.
If the view is hidden, select and double-click Analytics.
Search view
The Search view displays the results of a search. You can double-click a row in the Search view to open the corresponding configuration object.
If the view is hidden, select and double-click Search.
Configuration comparison view
If you modify a configuration or algorithm in InfoSphere MDM Workbench, you can view the differences between the configuration on the operational server and the one in InfoSphere MDM Workbench before deployment by using the Configuration Comparison view.
Similarly, if the operational server configuration was updated using a different InfoSphere MDM Workbench instance, you can compare your current configuration with the changes made to the operational server.
If the view is hidden, select and double-click Configuration Comparison.
