Additional manager functionality

GoTo navigation

Selecting GoTo navigates to the default view of the root component of the deployed template. Invoke the window by double-clicking on the desired path cell or right-click on the desired path cell and then click on the GoTo window.

Selecting GoTo Parent navigates to the default view of the template root component’s parent.

Informational window

Read-only informational windows can be invoked by clicking table cells in the Inputs, Outputs, or Relations columns in the view. For example, the Input Info window provides you with additional information about the inputs of the deployed template. Invoke the window by double-clicking an Inputs table cell.

In the window, an unlinked input status is indicated as “NOT LINKED” in the LinkSource field, as shown.

Double-clicking either an Outputs or Relations table cell invokes the Outputs Info and Relation Info windows respectively. Referring to the Info windows can be useful when attempting to resolve links and relations. For example, to resolve an unlinked output, you can check the bindHints shown in the window to determine which tags you may need to add to a link target point.

Resolving unbound template I/Os or relations

The Template Manager view assists you in linking any unlinked template inputs, outputs, or adding component relations. Right-clicking any cell indicating Fault color selects the row and invokes a popup that lists the unlinked items, shown here.

Click an input in the window to resolve the link.
In the Select Link Input Source dialog, approve or configure input sources as described here:
- If the selected input resolves to a single source it is automatically selected for you, simply click OK to accept it.
- If the input resolves to multiple possible sources, you must select one and click OK.
- If the selected input cannot be resolved, a popup appears indicating that fact. Click OK to proceed. In this situation, you may need to create an input source point(s) and tag it appropriately so that the input link resolves correctly.

NOTE: The same functionality exists for linking unlinked outputs and relating components.

Batch resolution of unlinked inputs

Provides a means of selecting multiple deployed templates and attempting to link all of the selected templates with unlinked inputs or outputs.. To invoke this functionality:

Select multiple rows in the Template Manager view and then right-click one of the selected rows.
The popup displays.
Click on this to begin the linking process.

NOTE: During this process the system remembers the choices made by the user for each template type and input. If there are any additional template instances of the same type, the system uses the same choices rather than repeatedly prompting for the same information.
On completion, a dialog displays indicating each linked input and its source.
To close the dialog, click OK .
