Project Browser Icon Overlays
The Project Browser displays the status of each Package in the model by overlaying status icons on the Package icon. The meaning of each overlaid icon is provided here.
Icon Overlays

---|---|---|
This Package is controlled and is represented by an XMI file on disk; version control either is not being used or is not available. You can edit the Package. |
Controlled Packages | |
This Package is version controlled and checked out to you, therefore you can edit the Package. |
Use Version Control | |
This Package is version controlled and not checked out to you, therefore you cannot edit the Package (unless you check the Package out). |
Use Version Control | |
This Package is version controlled, but you checked it out whilst not connected to the version control server. You can edit the Package but there could be version conflicts when you check the Package in again. |
Offline Version Control | |
This Package is a namespace root, which denotes where the namespace structure starts; Packages below this point are generated as namespaces to code. |
Namespaces | |
The version-controlled Package has been flagged as Read Only, using a Package control method applied through the Automation Interface - as a script, for example. The padlock icon displays with other Package control icons except for the 'blue box' (third item above), which takes precedence. The Read Only flag can be applied to Packages whether they are checked-in or checked-out. |
Package Class | |
MDG Add-In icon |
MDG Add-Ins specify their own icon to denote that this branch of the model belongs to that Add-In. All Packages connected to an MDG Add-In correspond to a namespace root, so the namespace root icon is not displayed. |
MDG Add-Ins |
Feature Scope
