Compatible Views

Displays are organized by operational function, and are available as a compatible view when you select an appropriate resource. This organization makes it easier for you to remember where you are within the model framework.

When you navigate to a resource, you are automatically shown the compatible displays of the resource you are viewing. If you navigate to a resource that does not have a compatible display, you cannot work with that resource. If you want to access a specific display, you must have added a resource to the folder that it applies to. Then, the display is enabled to further select, view, or configure a resource.

Note: The enabled displays available depend on both Workflow and any corresponding modules or Workflow compatible products you have installed. If a new product is installed but does not appear in the available views, close and re-open the Workflow client and check again.
