Screen Regions

 

The SPB GUI is comprised of the following main screen regions.

 

Package Structure

 

The Package Structure displays a navigable hierarchy of the software

 

elements contained in the PSF. From the Package Structure, you can

 

manage and build your PSF. From within this region you can view

 

attribute information, edit the software package structure, expand and

 

collapse nodes, view detailed information on a software element, and

 

view detailed information on software specification attributes and their

 

status.

within the Package Structure and return to the reference of origin

 

Attribute Table

 

The Attribute Table displays attribute names and values for the software

 

elements contained in the PSF. The Attribute Table displays the

 

associated attribute information for the software element or reference

 

you have selected in the Package Structure.
