The CARMA Fields Table View can
be used to display a single level of the CARMA hierarchy. For each
type of CARMA element displayed, different properties or fields are
provided in columns.
Types of CARMA Content Displayed
The properties
displayed in CARMA Fields Table View depend
on the type of CARMA element open in the view. For example, RAM items
are displayed with the RAM ID, RAM version, RAM level, description,
and refresh time provided as fields. Repository instances and CARMA
content have field information retrieved from each member. For individual
CARMA members, fields are provided based on the RAM as CARMA Developers
can customize the information retrieved for members.
Navigation in CARMA Fields Table View
Only
one level of the CARMA hierarchy is active at a time in the
CARMA
Fields Table View; however, you can navigate through different
levels using the following controls.

on the item or right click on the item and select Go into from
the context menu.
- To navigate up the hierarchy one level, click the Go
Up action on the toolbar.

the arrow to the left of the CARMA item to expand the item.
To view the children of the currently active level, select the

CARMA item.
Sorting CARMA Items
CARMA items in the
CARMA
Fields Table View can be sorted according to the fields
listed. Sorting is based on the following constraints:
- Sorting is done by selecting the column header for a particular
field. The first sort is ascending. The second sort is descending.
- Sorting is done based on a comparison of the string value for
the selected field
- Sorting output will conform to any predefined filters. Any CARMA
items that do not fall within defined filters will not be displayed
in sorting output.
- Sorting maintains the tree structure of the CARMA Fields
Table View. This means that sorting will be performed
at the currently active level. Any children that are expanded will
not be sorted.
- Sorting is done only on the selected column header. For any CARMA
items that have the same field value; there will be no additional
sort, they will be returned in the order they appear.
