TreeView Tesslet is used to present HDC objects in form of a hierarchical tree. It can show a large number of objects and easily represent dependencies between them, like Spaces on a given Floor.

Content of the TreeView Tesslet is determined by the selected Perspective. Perspective sets used in TreeView must have a Root object defined.

The tree will display all linked objects that match the selected Perspective.
Objects can be searched for using the Search field. This is a Quick Search mechanism that will find only those objects set to be found by the system administrator (configuration for administrators is described here).

 

  • Left-clicking on any object will:

    • Change the focus to this object.

    • Present the object's details and properties in the Object Properties Tesslet.

    • If configured, show connected objects/documents on other Tesslets like GridView.

     

Multi-selection of tree objects is possible by holding the CTRL button on the keyboard and selecting objects with the left mouse button.

This action populates the grid with data from multiple tree objects, if any documents are connected.

 

Right click on any object will open the context menu for clicked object:
 

Options available on the menu:

  • Object Info: This option displays versioning, data source, and audit trail.

  • Add to OS (X): Adds the selected objects to Object Set (X represents the number of objects added).

  • Share: Copies a link to the selected object. When pasted, the link opens HDC on the selected object.

  • Search subtree: Opens Advanced Search dialog but narrows down the search only to the current object and its children.

  • Add: Creates a new linked object of a class available in Tree perspective.

  • Edit: Shows an edit object form.

  • Delete: Deletes the selected or clicked object. Additional confirmation is shown, listing selected objects.

  • Update area: Updates the area from linked vector spot based on pre-defined relation. 

  • Links: Manages object links. See Object Linking (Relations).

  • External: Works if communication protocol is properly set. It allows sending and receiving an object property from an external domain.

  • Set as Root: Enables users to temporarily limit working set of objects. Use Full Tree button to exit this mode.  

  •  Select subtree : Expands the selected object and selects it with all child objects.
