List View

Use the List view in the metadata catalog to drill-down through resources, logical groups, and metadata objects individually.
The following image shows the List view:
The List view displays the selected object path and the child objects for the selected object. Details about the selected object appear in the Details panel.

By default, Metadata Manager displays a list of all resources that are loaded in the Metadata Manager warehouse when you open the metadata catalog. To select a metadata object, select the resource that contains the object, drill-down through the metadata objects and logical groups, and click the object name.
Each time you click an object name, Metadata Manager displays the child objects in the objects list. You can sort and filter the objects list. Metadata Manager displays the metadata details for the selected object in the Details panel.
For example, to select an Oracle table, click the Oracle resource name, the schema name, the Tables logical group, and then the table name. When you click the table name, Metadata Manager displays the child logical groups for the table in the objects list. It displays the metadata details for the table in the Details panel.
Metadata Manager displays the selected object path above the list of objects. To navigate back up through the hierarchy of objects, click the link for the object you want to select.
For example, you view metadata details for PowerCenter mapping m_cdip_sapbw_aggs_extract_DH in the following object path:
MM/Auto_PC_90/MYLA/Mappings/m_cdip_sapbw_aggs_extract_DH
To select resource Auto_PC_90, click Auto_PC_90 in the object path. To navigate back to the resource list, click MM.
