Displaying Results
Creating a new tab in the result tab
You can create a new tab so as to avoid mixing results.
To create a new tab in the result tab:
In the query dialog box, click
Your result appears in a separate tab, allowing it to be kept in case of re-execution of a query.
Customizing result tab columns
By default, the result tab presents the following columns for each object:
• short name
• long name
You can customize these columns. Each column corresponds to an object property.
To customize result tab columns:
Click
then click
Customize Columns.
The
Use Generic Objects option presents query result objects as abstract MetaClass instances. For more details on abstract MetaClasses, see "Abstract Metamodel" in technical article
HOPEX Studio - MEGA Studio.
The Column Display Customization dialog box allows you to add or remove columns for a given MetaClass.
Each new column corresponds to a MetaClass characteristic.
If you wish to classify result dialog box results by object type, add the MetaClass column.
For object types in a namespace, the short name is also indicated by default.
Memorizing columns
You can store in memory the columns to be displayed when executing future queries.
To do this:
In the user options window, "
Query" group, select the option
Result: keep displayed columns.
To display user options from the workspace, select
Tools > Options.
The next time a query is executed, the result window proposes the same columns as those previously defined.
Reinitializing columns
The list of columns displayed can vary depending on the object types constituting the query.
When this option is activated, after each query execution, columns corresponding to characteristics not connected to queried targets will be removed.
Displaying results as a list
By default, results appear in the form of a list.
When you click Display result objects list, duplicates are eliminated (i.e. duplicates of objects that appear in several recent queries).
If for example the "Urgent Order" organizational process appears in several recent queries (ie. it appears several times in the query tree), it will appear only once in the list.
So the
Display results as list is equivalent to
in the result dialog box.
Displaying queries that produced the result
You can also display results as a tree, which enables viewing of recent queries that produced result object collections.
To display results as a tree:
1. Click Display tree of recent queries and result objects .
2. Double-click the recent queries to show the result objects.
You obtain a tree enabling identification of the different queries executed with their result sets.
Displaying objects common to several result sets
Button
enables restricting the view to only those objects common to all recent queries.
Buttons
and
only appear when Cumulative mode is selected.
