Creating table views

After you have created one or more table layouts, you can generate a table view of the model element data based on your layout design.

About this task

A table view performs a query on a selected element type and displays a detailed list of its various attributes and relations. In the browser, double-click the table view name to generate the results of the data query. The query analyzes data for the selected package and all of its nested packages. You can also return to the table layout and make design changes. To re-display the data in the changed table view, click Refresh.

Procedure

  1. Right‑click a package on the Rational® Rhapsody® browser to which you want to add a table view and select Add New > Table\Matrix > Table View.
    Note: Add New > Table\Matrix is the default menu command structure in the product. It can be changed by users. This topic assumes that all defaults are in place.
  2. In the browser, right-click the table view and select Features to open its Features window.
  3. On the General tab:
    1. Enter a name for the view.
    2. Select the name of a previously created table layout from the Layout list.
    3. Select the scope for this view from the Scope list.
    4. Clear or select the Include Descendants check box if you want to exclude or include the descendants for the selected scope. For more information, see Including and excluding descendants.
  4. Click OK.
  5. To change the displayed data, double-click a row in the table view and make your changes in the Features window for that element.
  6. If you have finished making changes, you can use either of the following actions:
    • Click Apply to save your changes in the Features window and then click the Refresh on the Table/Matrix drawing toolbar to display the new data in the view.
    • If you are done making changes, click OK.
    Tip: To change an existing extended table view to be an regular table view, on the Rational Rhapsody browser, right-click the extended table view and select Change to > Table View.
