The Repository Manager can display four main windows: the Navigator window, the Main window, the Dependency window, and the Output window. You can dock and undock the Navigator, Dependency, and Output windows. You can also hide and display the Navigator, Dependency, and Output windows.
In the Navigator window, you can connect to a repository, navigate through the folders, and browse repository objects. The Navigator window organizes the repository objects of the same type in each folder in groups called nodes. When you select an object in a node, you can view details for the object in the Main window.
If you configure the Repository Manager to display object dependencies, the Dependency window displays the dependency details when you select an object in the Navigator window. You can view dependency information for sources, targets, mappings, and shortcuts.
The Output window displays detailed information for complex repository operations, such as copying folders. The Output window also displays Repository Service notification messages.
Because the status of the repository changes as users access it, refresh the view of the repository before performing tasks, such as deleting a folder or unlocking an object.
