Project Browser Icon Overlays

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

The Project Browser window displays the status of each package in the model by overlaying status icons on the package icon.  The following table describes what each overlaid icon means.

Icon

Indicates that...

PkgCntrlXMIicon

This package is controlled and is represented by an XMI file on disk. Version control either is not being used or is not available. You can edit the package.

packageover1

This package is version controlled and checked out to you, therefore you can edit the package.

Eightarrow

This package is version controlled and not checked out to you, therefore you cannot edit the package (unless you check the package out).

Redeight

This package is version controlled, but you checked it out whilst not connected to the version control server. You can edit the package but there could be version conflicts when you check the package in again.

NamespaceRootIcon

This package is a namespace root.  It denotes where the namespace structure starts; packages below this point are generated as namespaces to code.

<MDG Add-In icon>

MDG Add-Ins specify their own icon to denote that this branch of the model belongs to that Add-In. All packages connected to an MDG Add-In correspond to a namespace root, so the namespace root icon is not displayed.

Similarly, the Project Browser window indicates attribute and operation scope status with icons. The following table describes what each indicator icon means.

Icon

Indicates that...

appoppkey

oppappkey

The attribute or operation is scoped as protected.

appopplock

oppapplock

The attribute or operation is scoped as private.
