Each object created in the repository has a basic set of properties describing the purpose of this object: name, identifier and comment. Names and comments can contain any text and can also match for two or more objects. The object identifier must be unique, which is necessary to maintain the integrity of the tree of all repository objects.
The Container object provides a separate space within the repository where the individual identifiers are maintained. Object identifiers within the container must be unique but they can match the object identifiers within other containers or the identifiers of objects that are not included in containers. Any repository objects, as well as other containers can be created inside the container.
To create a container:
Execute one of the operations:
Click the
Create button in the main menu of the object navigator.
Select the Create item in the context menu of the list of objects in the object navigator.
Select object type on the New Object side panel.
After the container has been created, determine its name.
