The Set as Root command is available in both the Navigator and Structure widgets. It helps users focus on a selected object by making it the temporary root of the view.
Key Points
- Focus on a specific object: When you set an object as root, the widget refreshes to display the object’s structure as if it were the starting point.
- No impact on data: This action only changes what you see in the UI. It does not modify the original structure or affect the backend.
- Temporary view change: Once you reset or navigate back, the structure returns to its original hierarchy.
How to Set an Object as Root
- Open a Navigator or Structure widget.
- Select the object you want to focus on.
- Right-click the object and choose Set as Root from the menu (or use the command bar if available).
- The widget will reload with the selected object displayed as the root.
This feature is especially useful when working with large or complex structures, allowing you to drill down without distraction.
