The Construct View
The Construct View is an aid to Project Management, helping you to quickly review the resources and maintenance items of the elements in any Package (including a View, but not a Root node) or its diagrams in the model. You can filter the view to show resources, or a single category or all categories of Maintenance item; that is:
- Features
- Changes
- Issues
- Defects
- Tasks and/or
- Documents
You can also manipulate what data to show for each item, using the 'Field Chooser' dialog and the Bar. (See the List Header Help topic.)
As you select individual items in the View, they become the focus of various Enterprise Architect windows such as the Notes window, 'Element' tab of the Browser window, and the Properties window.
