The Connection Browser displays existing connections between the SysML model elements and repository elements, as shown in Figure 80 . Five characteristics of each connection are shown:
...
The connections are presented per the SysML model element structure. When a SysML model element is expanded, such as the Aircraft Platform block shown in Figure 80figure below, the connections for that element can be seen, such as connection C52 (highlighted) between the Aircraft Platform block and Aircraft Platform part version A.12 in a Windchill repository. A single SysML element can have 0 or more connections associated with it.

Right clicking on a single row (or multiple selected7 rows) in the table provides several options, as shown in Figure 80. If the row is a SysML element, the first three options allow the user to expand, collapse, or refresh the display of sub-elements or connections within that element. If the row contains a Syndeia connection (blue icon under SysML element), the top three options are grayed out, as in the case shown in Figure 80. The Go to option allows users to switch to another package—different from the one whose contents are currently displayed.

- (All) – All rows are shown
- (Empty) – Only rows where this column is empty are shown
- (Custom…) – A custom filter dialog box is shown, as in Figure 81. Only rows whose contents obey the filtering criterion are shown.
- Specific selections that appear in that column

For example, to view only those SysML elements that have a connection to one or more repository element, apply the “is not empty” condition on the Connection column. Similarly, to view all connections to a specific repository (such as a MySQL repository) apply a filter to the Repository column.
