Use the Navigation Tree Pane

The navigation tree pane is the left pane of HPDM below the My Favorites pane.

“See the Parts

of the HPDM Interface” (page 25)

. The navigation tree pane displays a tree of the database objects

in hierarchical form.

The navigation tree pane allows you to select a platform (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 from one user interface. The navigation tree
pane divides systems into two categories, or “folders”:

My Active Systems

folder

My Other Systems

folder

Understand My Active Systems

My Active Systems

refers to the group of Neoview platforms that are defined and currently

connected. If no systems are connected and you select the My Active Systems folder, the right
pane displays this message:

In order to use a system you must have added it. You can do so by

clicking the Add System button below. 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.

To add a new system, click [ Add System ] at the bottom of the dialog box. If systems have been
added previously, the right pane displays the active systems.

To display the My Active Systems folder options, right-click the My Active Systems heading.
The options are:
