− | This page collects useful things to know about the allmighty Capella 'Information View'. Just type Ctrl-3 + Information View to open it. | + | This page has been moved to https://github.com/eclipse/capella/blob/master/doc/plugins/org.polarsys.capella.ui.doc/html/04.%20User%20Interface/4.08.%20Information%20View.mediawiki |
− | | + | |
− | The information view has 2 main purposes in Capella:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Displays validation results
| + | |
− | * Can be used to log arbitrary messages
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | In any case, a message displayed in the view can have more or one Objects, usually Model Elements, attached to it. You can see these attached objects in the context menu of a message (Related Elements is the name I think).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The view can be configured in different flavours:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Grouped by Message severity
| + | |
− | * Grouped by Rule ID
| + | |
− | * Flat
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The following columns are displayed:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Category:
| + | |
− | - For validation results, this is the category of the rule, as shown in the Model Validation Preference Page.
| + | |
− | - For other elements, this is the 'source' value of the underlying Diagnostic.
| + | |
− | - Special rule for EMF validation diagnostics.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Severity: Just the severity of the marker
| + | |
− | * Rule Set: The marker attribute IValidationConstants.TAG_PREFERENCE_EPF_FILE value
| + | |
− | * Rule ID: The unqualified rule ID for validation results, or the diagnostic source for other markers. Special code handles EMF validation markers
| + | |
− | * Message: The underlying marker message attribute value
| + | |
− | * Date: The underlying marker creation time
| + | |
− | * Resource: the value of MarkerViewUtil.PATH_ATTRIBUTE for the underlying marker
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | Unsolved problems:
| + | |
− | * Special code to pretty print maker source attribute for emf validation rules. A diagnostic source is usually a plugin identifier, something more machine readable and we want something pretty-printed..
| + | |
− | * Many of the columns are really only useful for validation results, not for arbitrary log entries
| + | |
− | * Limited/no support to display tree structures: We start with a Diagnostic, which is a Tree, but the view linearizes it.
