Organization and Project Windows

Organization and project windows are used for displaying project elements, documents, views, glossary entries, etc. Access to these windows is determined by the configuration settings of your user profile.

The Organization Window (Only Accessible in Organizations)

To open the Organization window, click on the eye symbol in the tab of an organizational unit, and select Show Organization

By default, the window opens on the right-hand side of the screen.

In this window, you can find all the query types, user profiles, and forms, as well as the views and queries from your projects. Projects and templates that are allocated to the organization are also on display.

The Products Window (Only Accessible in Projects)

To open the products window, click on the eye symbol in a project’s tab, and select Show Products.

By default, the window opens on the right-hand side of the screen.

With packages, you can create, manage and edit entire project contents (i.e. requirements, documents, queries etc.)

The Stereotypes Window (Accessible in Organizations and Projects)

To open the stereotypes window, click on the eye symbol in an organization’s or project’s tab, and select Show Stereotypes.

By default, the window opens on the right-hand side of the screen.

In this window, you will find a complete list of all stereotypes that can be used when creating elements in objectiF RM

Here, you can adjust and extend existing stereotypes (e.g. by creating new sub-stereotypes). Properties that are defined here when creating or editing elements are displayed in the tab Further properties. In the properties of a stereotype, you can enter a pattern for the generation of the identifier (unique ID of an element).

When you change the properties of an existing stereotype, these will be updated immediately in the project.

In the lower area, you can reference project elements, external files and web links which can be opened directly when clicked on.

The Settings Window (Accessible in Organizations and Projects)

To open the settings window, click on the eye symbol in an organization’s or project’s tab, and select Show Settings.

By default, the window opens on the right-hand side of the screen.

All project-relevant settings, such as document templates, patterns, state machines, query types, etc., which are not accessible to project team members are managed here. Forms are also stored here. To open this window, you need administrator rights.

The Topics Window (Accessible in Organizations and Projects)

To open the topics window, click on the eye symbol in an organization’s or project’s tab, and select Show Topics.
