ENL - Object Selection (on Specific Objects)

Object Selection (on Specific Objects)

This step is used to select objects stored in the Knowledge Base that will be incorporated into the Report.

Notes

Please note that this report only works with a few selected objects. Selecting an entire application could cause the authorized memory limit for program execution memory to be exceeded. In this case, an “Out of memory” message will be displayed, causing the application to become unstable.
If you want to create a report on an entire application, please use the Standard Documentation template, which can be accessed in the Template Selection screen in the Report With Predefined wizard.

Left hand column

This section displays the contents of the Knowledge Base i.e.: its various sub-items (instance, schema/database, object types, objects and applications). You can browse the tree structure with the mouse to find the object(s) you require.

Selecting an object causes all of its "children" to be automatically selected as well. This is indicated by a check mark in the object checkbox.

Some handy and useful shortcut keys also exist:

A single click with the mouse (in the left-hand list) will display the contents of a node (in the right-hand list)
A double click with the mouse (in the left-hand list) will expand a node or open a terminal object.
You can move through the list with the arrow keys or with the [PgUp], [PgDn], [Home] and [End] keys
Press [Return] to open (and expand or collapse) the currently selected node
To force expansion of the selected node use the [+] key
The [-] key forces its collapse.
Typing the first letter(s) of the object will automatically select the corresponding object - the selection will change according to the key(s) entered.
Browse through objects with the same initial, pressing the same key as often as needed. If nothing matches the key(s) pressed, a short beep will be emitted (when this occurs, note that the next key stroke will cause a new search)

Right hand column

The right-hand section displays the contents of the item that you select in the left-hand section. When objects are displayed here, any relevant information about them is displayed in the various columns:

Name >object name
Mangling/Mangled Name > the complete signature of client object methods and functions with parameters

You can sort the files displayed in the right-hand section according to each column and in ascending or descending order. Click the relevant column name and the files will be sorted in ascending or descending order accordingly. A small arrow will be displayed in the column heading indicating the sort direction.

Select the items you want to include in the report.

Legend

The following colors are used in both columns:

Object is unselected and no child objects are selected
Object is selected but no child objects are selected
Object is unselected but some child objects are selected
Object is selected and some child objects are selected

Once satisfied with your selections, click Next> to move on to the next step in the wizard or Cancel to abort the process.
