Designer Windows

The Designer consists of the following windows:
  • Navigator.
    Connect to multiple repositories and folders. You can also copy and delete objects and create shortcuts using the Navigator.
  • Workspace.
    View or edit sources, targets, mapplets, transformations, and mappings. You work with a single tool at a time in the workspace, which has two formats: default and workbook. You can view multiple versions of an object in the workspace.
  • Status bar.
    Displays the status of the operation you perform.
  • Output.
    Provides details when you perform certain tasks, such as saving work or validating a mapping. Right-click the Output window to access window options, such as printing output text, saving text to file, and changing the font size.
  • Overview.
    View workbooks that contain large mappings or a lot of objects. The Overview window outlines the visible area in the workspace and highlights selected objects in color. To open the Overview window, click View > Overview Window.
  • Instance Data.
    View transformation data while you run the Debugger to debug a mapping.
  • Target Data.
    View target data while you run the Debugger to debug a mapping.
You can view a list of open windows, and you can switch from one window to another in the Designer. To view the list of open windows, click Window > Windows.
