![]() | The Navigator displays a
hierarchical view of the XPDL model. It shows packages,
processes, activity sets and activities. It is also very useful
for finding XPDL elements which are not valid according to the
XPDL specification. These elements will be marked with error
(![]() ![]() The Navigator makes navigation through the XPDL model easier and offers a good way of element selection. It can also ease editing of XPDL by opening property dialogs directly from the elements in the tree. The available actions in the Navigator toolbar are expand all and collapse all. When expand all is selected the hierarchical tree will be expanded so that every element is visible. When collapse all is performed, only top element(s) will be made visible. A right mouse click on tree will display a popup menu. Besides the standard edit functions (cut, copy, paste, delete and edit properties) there are Expand all, Collapse all, Duplicate and References. Expand all and Collapse all will act like the actions on the toolbar with the selected element used as the root element of the action. So Expand all will make all children of the selected element visible. Duplicate will create a copy of the selected element. The only difference will be in the element id and name attributes (if they exist) which will get new values. The References action will search for references to the selected element in the whole XPDL model. |
