Change object display mode. It is available only in the desktop application.
To set up displaying of objects in the update structure:
In the web application click the 
Show Object button and select the display option in the drop-down menu. Object display setup in the update structure is available only if a ready update is opened for view.
In the desktop application select the View item in the update structure's context menu and select the checkbox next to the required display option.
Display options:
Name. Default value. Objects are displayed with their names.
Identifier. Objects are displayed with their identifiers.
Name and Identifier. Objects are displayed with their names, object identifiers are displayed in brackets.
To change the type of repository object display in the desktop application, select the required radio button and checkboxes in the context menu on the Repository panel:
Show Names. If the radio button is selected, only object names are displayed in the object tree.
Show Identifiers. If the radio button is selected, only object identifiers are displayed in the object tree.
Show Names and Identifiers. If the radio button is selected, object names and identifiers are displayed in the object tree.
Show Tooltip. If the checkbox is selected, the tooltip is displayed on hovering cursor over the object which contains the following information: name, identifier, change date and object type.
Show Empty Folders. If the checkbox is selected, the list of objects displays folders without objects.
To change object display mode, use the 
button on the toolbar in the desktop application. Click the button to change the display mode or click the button arrow to open a menu to select a mode:
In Update Order. The order corresponds to the order, in which objects have been added to the update. The Update Objects root item is displayed in this mode.
In Repository Order. Update objects are displayed with their owner containers, such as folders or MDM repository. The appearance will correspond to the tree on the Repository tab.
NOTE. If the In Repository Order mode is used, the number of objects is not displayed for the Update Objects item.
Object order is important when creating an update. Add or place added objects in the update structure starting with parent objects or sources, which are absent in the target repository, and finishing with objects that were created on their basis.
Before saving the update, the dialog box prompting to confirm object sorting opens. If the answer is positive, objects will be automatically sorted, otherwise the object order remains the same.
To reorder objects:
Use the 
, 
or 
buttons on the toolbar. The and buttons move an object within the same level.
Select appropriate context menu items.
Use Drag&Drop.
Select the Arrange Objects context menu item or click the 
Arrange Objects by Dependency button.
NOTE. The Arrange Objects context menu item is available only in the desktop application.
Select one of the items in the drop-down menu of the Arrange Objects by Dependency button:
By Type. Objects are arranged by type.
By Dependency. The option arranges objects on the panel in the order of their dependency not breaking folders composition (contents). Repository objects and object deletion are arranged. Repository objects are arranged in the following order: first, basic objects, then the objects created on their basis (for example, tables, dimensions, cube). Deletion objects are arranged in the reverse order: first, independent objects based on other objects, then objects included into the earlier listed objects (for example, cube deletion, dimension deletion, table deletion). Comments, SQL operators, security subjects and special objects are not arranged.
Allow Structure Violation. The option arranges objects on the update panel in the order of their dependency, breaking their structure. Objects are arranged similarly to the By Dependency option, but if required, objects can be placed outside folders, in which they are located. This rule does not cover container objects, for example, modeling container, their child objects cannot be placed outside their borders.
NOTE. These commands are available only when the objects are displayed in the order they have been added to the update.

In the web application click theShow Object button. Managing column display is available only if a ready update is opened for view.
