Model View Manager

The Model View Manager Tool is accessed from the OpenSpirit Desktop by clicking on the Model View Manager toolbar icon or by choosing the Tools > Data Manager > Model View Manager menu item. The Model View Manager tool is used to inspect, create, and modify Model Views used by the OpenSpirit Data Selector and the OpenSpirit Scan Job Manager. 

The table in the upper left corner of the Model View Manager window lists all of the Model Views that exist in your OpenSpirit installation. The Model Views are stored in the OpenSpirit metadata repository that resides in the OpenSpirit Master installation.

The Default column indicates if a model view is the default Model View for its type. Only one Model View of a given type can be a default. Marking a Model View as the default for its type will cause the tools that use the Model View to have it selected by default. For example, making a Data Selector Model View the default will cause the Data Selector tool to show it as the selected Model View in its Data Source Selection window. Making a Scan Job Model View the default will cause the Scan Job Manager to show it as the default Scan Model View. 

The Model View Name column shows the name of the Model Views. 

The Version column shows the Model View's version. Newly created Model Views are assigned version 1.0. The version number is incremented each time the Model View is edited. Only the highest version of a Model View is available in the Model View Manager. 

The Type column indicates if the Model View was created for use in the Data Selector, the Scan Job Manager, or in Studio Scan. 

The Data Model column indicates the data model that the view is for.

The Visibility column indicates if the Model View is available for use by all OpenSpirit users or only by the user running the Model View Manager. Private Model Views can only be seen and used by the user that creates them.

The Description column displays an optional textual description that is typically used to describe the purpose of the Model View.

Creating New Model Views

New model views are created by clicking on the Create model view icon in the Model View Manager toolbar. This will clear out the Model View Name field and Description field in the upper right section of the Model View Manager window and will set the Selected Data Model, Model View Type, and Visibility selections to their default values. The bottom-left section of the window will show the data type groups that exist in the selected data model and the lower right section of the window will be empty. The Model View Manager window is now ready for you to begin defining the new Model View.
 

Editing Model Views

 Model views can be modified by selecting them in the list of Model Views and clicking on the Edit icon in the Model View Manager toolbar. This will open the Model View in edit mode if the user owns the Model View or has the Administer Data Views right. The only Model View header information that can be edited is the visibility, description, and Model View properties. The data model, Model View name, and Model View type cannot be changed after the Model View has been created and saved.
 

Most Model View editing is done using the Data Model and Model View sections at the bottom of the Model View Manager window. This is described in the help guide chapter titled Building Model View Groups and Data Types.
