Directory user interface - Data360_Analyze - Latest

1. Folders panel

The folders panel lists the various collections available in the Directory. Depending on your user role and product edition, the collections that are available to you may vary:

• My Documents - Contains your collection of documents (data flows, library nodes and schedules). On the server product, documents in this workspace are private and cannot be seen by other users on the system.
• Public Documents - Contains documents which are shared across all users on the server product. On the desktop product this workspace can simply be used as a second location to store documents, perhaps those which are used in production.
  Note: If you are an Administrator, you will see two additional tabs in the Directory - My Folders and All Folders. From the All Folders tab, you can access all documents on the system to complete administration tasks, such as deleting documents when a user has left the organization. You will also see the Data360 Nodes and Data360 Services folders. The Data360 Nodes folder contains all of the library nodes which are shipped with the application, and the Data360 Services folder contains default data flows that are shipped with the application. See Folder administration.
• Schedules - Contains a list of schedules. You will only see this collection if you have access to the Automation Services functionality.

You can resize the folders panel by dragging the edge to the required size, or you can collapse or expand the panel by clicking the edge.

Documents can be moved from one workspace to another. For more details, see Sharing documents.

2. Create and import menus

The Create menu provides commands for creating your own Data Flow or Library Node.

The Import menu provides commands for importing data files, and for importing data flows and library nodes from another instance of Data360 Analyze, or from Lavastorm BRE (v6.1 onwards).

3. Document list

Documents (data flows, library nodes and schedules) in the selected folder will be listed in the middle section of the screen, showing the title of the document and when it was created. A document can be selected from this list to show its details and open it. You can use the Display menu to control the type of items that appear in the list, including data flows, library nodes or schedules.

You can also double-click a data flow or library node from the document list to open it directly.

4. Help menu

The details panel shows additional information about the selected document, as well as providing the option to Open the document to view and edit it.

You can copy the path to a selected document by clicking the Copy button next to the Resource Path:

The type of object is included in the path, for example #graph references a data flow. The path information can be useful elsewhere in the application, for example when working with the Execute Data Flow node

Resource path examples

• //admin/Data Flow 1#graph is the path for a data flow named "Data Flow 1" which is stored in the My Documents folder for an admin user.
• //user1/RunPropertySet1#run-property-set is the path for a run property set named "RunPropertySet1" which is stored in the My Documents folder for a user named "user1".
• //Public Documents/test#directory/Composite node#library-node is the path for a library node named "Composite node" which is stored in a folder named "test" under the Public Documents directory.

You can resize the details panel by dragging the edge to the required size, or you can collapse or expand the panel by clicking the edge.
