Project Browser Icon Overlays
The Project Browser displays the status of each package in the model by overlaying status icons on the package icon. The following table describes what each overlaid icon means.

This package is controlled and is represented by an XMI file on disk; version control either is not being used or is not available. You can edit the package.
|
|
|
This package is version controlled and checked out to you, therefore you can edit the package.
|
|
|
This package is version controlled and not checked out to you, therefore you cannot edit the package (unless you check the package out).
|
|
|
This package is version controlled, but you checked it out whilst not connected to the version control server. You can edit the package but there could be version conflicts when you check the package in again.
|
|
|
This package is a namespace root, which denotes where the namespace structure starts; packages below this point are generated as namespaces to code.
|
|
|
The version-controlled package has been flagged as Read Only, using a package control method applied through the Automation Interface - as a script, for example. The icon displays with other package control icons except for the 'blue box' icon (above) which takes precedence. The Read Only flag can be applied to packages whether they are checked-in or checked-out.

<MDG Add-In icon> |
MDG Add-Ins specify their own icon to denote that this branch of the model belongs to that Add-In. All packages connected to an MDG Add-In correspond to a namespace root, so the namespace root icon is not displayed.
|
Similarly, the Project Browser indicates attribute and operation scope status with icons. The following table describes what each indicator icon means.

Notes
| • | In the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, Systems Engineering and Ultimate editions, if project User Security is on, the Project Browser also has element locking indicators (red and blue exclamation marks) that indicate the lock status of individual elements and packages The availability of these elements for editing depends on whether user locks are required or not |
