Metadata Explorer
The Metadata Explorer provides powerful tools for visualizing and analyzing your EPMware metadata structure. Display hierarchical metadata by selecting an Application and Dimension from dropdown lists to navigate your dimension hierarchies with real-time status indicators.
A hierarchy is displayed by selecting an Application and Dimension from the dropdown list. The members that display in the hierarchy will be color coded to display the current status of the member. A red font will denote a member that is pending Deployment, and black font will denote that the member is "live" in the target application.
Users can search for a Member Name and Property Name by selecting a value in the Search By dropdown list and entering the search criteria in the input box. Selecting a member in the hierarchy will display the member properties in the right Property pane.
