The TimeXtender Data Integration user interface is a standard Windows application with a ribbon at the top, a solution explorer on the left, and a middle pane with a number of tabs that contain the different objects that comprise your data estate. The following interactive images provide an overview of the interface.
View Menu
The View menu allows users to customize the user interface by toggling the display of different attributes:
- Data types: When checked, field data type are added as a postfix to their name.
- Highlight descriptions: When checked, objects in the tree that have a description are displayed with bold text. Descriptions are added to objects by right-clicking on the object and selecting Description.
- System fields: When checked, system fields are displayed at the bottom of tables.
- Uneven mappings: When checked, the number of mappings are displayed for tables with uneven mapping. In the example below, the table has uneven mappings since it contains two fields with one mapping, and another field with two mappings.
Navigation
Use the shortcut Ctrl+F to easily locate objects.
Color Theme
Go to Tools → Options → General tab to set a Theme and Accent color for the user interface, which may be beneficial in differentiating between different installations.
