Navigation Tree Pane
The navigation tree pane in HPDM displays a tree of the database objects in hierarchical form.
The navigation tree pane is the left pane of HPDM.
The navigation tree pane allows you to select a system and display the associated database objects
in the right pane. Through the use of displays, you can switch between different systems and
manage multiple Neoview platforms. In the navigation tree pane, you can select the My Active
Systems folder or the My Other Systems folder.
My Active Systems
If you select the My Active Systems folder, the right pane displays this message upon successful
logon:
In order to use a system you must have added it. You can do so by
clicking the Add System. If you add a system and its settings are
complete and correct, it will be added to the My Active Systems folder.
If the system’s settings are incomplete and/or incorrect, it will be
added to the My Other Systems folder. In either case, you will be able
to edit the system later.
At this time, a new system can be added by clicking [Add System] displayed at the bottom of
the window. If systems have been added previously, the right pane displays the active systems.
