Repository management is available in two places on the Syndeia Web Dashboard - Repositories menu (as shown here) and Digital Thread Project Dashboard → Workspace menu (see Repositories - Digital Thread Project).
Repository management available via the Repositories menu (as shown here) is primarily meant for connecting, browsing, searching, validating, and exploring external repositories, independent of Digital Thread Projects. Hence, only the intra-model (within repository) relations are shown in the Relations tab (Figure 1).
Repository views in a Digital Thread Project Dashboard shown both the intra- and inter-model relations owned by the given Digital Thread Project. Refer to the following to learn more - Repositories - Digital Thread Project.
