The Workspace tab in the Digital Thread Project Dashboard provides capabilities to browse and search repositories participating in Digital Thread Projects. Users can perform the following functions from the Workspace tab.
View all Repositories, organized by Repository Type.
Add a new Repository.
Tree View - Browse Repository containers, artifacts, and relations in the Tree View, as shown in Figure 1.
Graph View - Navigate Repository artifacts and relations in the the Digital Thread Explorer (Graph View), as shown in Figure 3.
Details tab - View details of any selected artifact or relation in the Repository.
Search tab - Search artifacts in a Repository using different search criteria.
Relations tab
Users can view both intra-model (within repository) and inter-model (cross repository) relations in the context of the given Digital Thread Project.
Users can create new inter-model relations in the context of the given Digital Thread Project.
The general capabilities available for Repositories under the Workspace tab of a Digital Thread Project are the same as those available under the Repositories menu in the main menu bar except for two key differences:
Users can view inter-model relations, in addition to intra-model relations, under the Relations tab for a selected artifact, as shown in Figure 1 below.
Users can create inter-model relations under the Relations tab shown in Figure 1 below.
This is because a user is browsing Repositories in the context of a specific Digital Thread Project under the Workspace tab (Figure 1). When the same Repository is browsed from the Repositories menu in the main menu bar, it is not in the context of a Digital Thread Project.
The capabilities under the Workspace tab are presented in the following sections. Refer to the Tutorials section at the end for links to demonstrations.
