The Explorer displays global and user-defined views of encyclopedia objects. It provides an alternative version of the Explorer window, enhanced with customizable content, a toolbar with multiple functions, and the options to select a View from accordion bars or icons.
To display the Explorer, click View, select Explorer and click Views. The sample Explorer window below is followed by sections describing each feature.
Window Docking options
You can move the Explorer to the left, right, top or bottom of the System Architect workspace, and dock it in or out the main System Architect window. The default dock position is on the left. The ‘pushpin’ button toggles on the Auto Hide option. In Auto Hide mode, the ‘pushpin’ icon points horizontally and the window is shown full size only when you mouse-over the Explorer tab in the application workspace. The ‘X’ closes the window. To open the Explorer window, click View > Explorer.

Left to right, the Explorer toolbar buttons perform the following tasks:
▪Create a new dynamic or static view
▪Open the selected objects
▪Remove the selected objects
▪Delete the selected objects from the encyclopedia
▪Refresh the current View
▪Sort all objects (includes option to enable/disable case sensitivity in the view)
▪Add a new Pane, delete or rename the current Pane
