D.2. Model Explorer View

Teiid Designer allows you manage multiple projects containing multiple models and any corresponding or dependent resources. The Model Explorer provides a simple file-structured view of these resources.
The Model Explorer (shown below) is comprised of a toolbar and a tree view.

  • Sort Model Contents - Sorts the contents of the models based on object type and alphabetizing.
  • Refresh Markers - Refreshes error and warning markers for objects in tree.
  • Up - Navigates up one folder/container location. (See Eclipse Help)
  • Collapse All - Collapses all projects.
  • Link with Editor - When object is selected in an open editor, this option auto-selects and reveals object in Model Explorer.
