Registry Explorer View
The Registry Explorer view displays registry objects contained in the CentraSite registry. System administrators can configure the view's contents, defining which registry objects are displayed. Different view configurations may be available. The menu in the view's toolbar allows you to choose the appropriate one to work with.
The default view configuration displays the organizations stored in the CentraSite registry and the Assets and Registry Objects and users assigned to them. It sorts the assets and users by organizations. For each organization, a tree structure is predefined which allows you to browse the assets defined for the organization and to navigate to all objects that are logically subordinate to it. Services and Users are predefined entry points to the tree structure. Additional entry points are available if assets are defined for the organization that are not directly or indirectly related to a service.
You can use the Registry Explorer view to browse the assets in the registry and create, organize and delete assets. Behind the top entry in the view, the name of the current CentraSite connection is displayed in square brackets.

Action
Home
Displays the object hierarchy from the top level. For example, after you have chosen Go Into a number of times, you can use this option to return to the top level of the hierarchy.
Back
Displays the hierarchy as it was shown immediately prior to the current display. For example, after you have chosen Go Into, Back returns you to the previous view.
Go Into
Changes the display to show only the objects below the currently selected one.
Collapse All
Collapses the hierarchy to display the objects at the top level only.
Back
Displays the objects that were shown immediately prior to the current display.
Forward
Displays the hierarchy that was shown immediately after the current display. For example, if you just selected Back, selecting Forward returns the view to the display from which you activated Back.
Follow Other Views
For working with the default configuration only: Defines whether the Registry Explorer view reacts to selecting an object in another CentraSite view. When the button is not pressed, the view does not focus an object selected in another view. When the button is pressed, the object is focused.
Note that an object selected in another view can only be focused if the button is pressed in the other view.
The Workbench remembers the selection mode you have set for the Registry Explorer view. The next time you open the view, the selection mode is set as you have left it.
Synchronize Other Views
For working with the default configuration only: Toggles the selection mode in the Registry Explorer view. When the button is not pressed, you have to double-click an entry in the view to focus the corresponding object in the Association Navigator view. When the button is pressed, a single click focuses the object in the Association Navigator view.
Note that an object can only be focused in the Association Navigator view if the button is pressed in the Association Navigator view.
The Workbench remembers the selection mode you have set for the Registry Explorer view. The next time you open the view, the selection mode is set as you have left it.
View Menu
Opens a menu with options for different view configurations. Use the Default option for displaying the default configuration, i.e. all organizations stored in the CentraSite registry and the assets and users assigned to them.
Contact your system administrator for information on the contents displayed by additional view configurations that are available.
