Navigate DesignSync Object / Browse DSFA Page

You can browse module, file, and folder hierarchies in a DesignSync server. The navigation page also shows any HREFs for modules (references to modules that can be on the same or a different DesignSync server).

The Navigate DesignSync Object page lets you view the structure of any connected DesignSync stores. The Browse DSFA page lets you view the structure for the store connected to a specific product revision.

To view the page with access to all DesignSync servers:

  1. Open the folder contents page for a Bookmark. For information, see Content List for a Bookmark or Sub Bookmark.
  2. From the page that lists Folder Contents, select Navigate DesignSync from the page Actions menu or toolbar.

To view the page for a specific product revision:

  1. Open the required product revision. See Product Line Management User's Guide: Opening a Product.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Content.
  3. Click the Browse DSFA page tab.

Columns

Column Name Description
Name The name of the DesignSync module, file, or folder in the server. DesignSync objects that are associated with an object in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform have hyperlinks. If they do not have any associated objects, they show without hyperlinks.
Version The version of the DesignSync module or file. DesignSync folders do not have versions. Only branches and versions of files show a value. The top-level file is not a specific version and does not show versions or tags. Module pages do not have versions. For a branch, this column shows the branch number.
Comments The comment entered during check-in of the DesignSync object.
Tags Any tag associated with the DesignSync files. DesignSync folders do not have tags.
Actions The actions you can perform on the files or folders.

Icon Name Action


Download

Download the file to your local machine without locking it on the server. Navigate to the folder or directory where you want to download the file. Multiple files are downloaded in a single zip file.

View

View the file in a registered viewer. If no viewer is registered and the mime type is set, the file opens in the browser window.

Navigate HREF Static

For an HREF to a module only. Opens a new navigation window that shows the static version of the module.

Navigate HREF Dynamic

For an HREF to a module only. Opens a new navigation window that shows the dynamic version of the module (that is, the version that currently matches the selector).

Other For an href only, shows the URL of the referenced module.

Filters on the Navigate DSFA Page

If there are multiple servers defined, choose one from the Server list. This filter does not show on the Browse DSFA page for a product.

Every DesignSync server has an associated document folder in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with the same name as the DesignSync server. The Navigate DesignSync Object page shows this object with the server name as the root of all folders and files within the DesignSync server.

When multiple DesignSync servers are defined on the server, the server field is empty and there is a server list. When there is a single DesignSync server defined, there is no list.

Actions/Toolbar Commands the Navigate DSFA Page
