Views

Views provide different presentations of resources or ways of navigating through the information in your workspace.

For example...

• Enterprise Explorer view

  Provides a hierarchical view of the resources in the Workbench. From here, you can open files for editing or select resources for operations such as exporting.

• Outline view

  Displays an outline of a structured file that is currently open in the editor area, and lists structural elements.

Rational Application Developer provides synchronization between views and editors, so that changing the focus or a value in an editor or view can automatically update another. In addition, some views display information obtained from other software products, such as database systems or software configuration management (SCM) systems.

A view can appear by itself or be stacked with other views in a tabbed notebook arrangement. To quickly move between views in a given perspective, you can select Ctrl-F7 (and hold down Ctrl), which will show all the open views and let the user move quickly to the desired view. Press F7 until the required view is selected, then release to move to that view.
