How to Set Up and Perform Eclipse-Based UI Element Tasks

You can edit Endevor in two ways:

Use the Quick Edit Feature

This method is described in the Quick Edit article.

Use the Endevor Project

Before you can edit Endevor elements using the project, you must perform certain set-up tasks, including creating a repository, adding a project, and adding elements to the project. When these set-up tasks are complete, you can edit elements then view the generated output and the Action Summary Report.

The order in which you perform some activities in the Eclipse-based UI might vary, but you can perform the following basic tasks:

  1. Connect to a Web Services host.
  2. Create a new Endevor repository if this is the first time that you are starting the Eclipse-based UI. Open the New Endevor repository dialog and add the repository details as necessary.
    For more information, see Create a New Endevor Repository.
  3. Create a new Project. Navigate to the Repository view, drill down to select the system, subsystem, environment, and entry stage, and right-click to create a new project.
    For more information, see Add a New Project.
  4. Add elements to the current project in the Element and Search Map views. These views also let you browse or list element listings.
    For more information, see:
    • Create an Element
    • Add Elements to a Project
    • List an Element Listing
    • Browse Elements
  5. Edit elements added to a project as necessary.
    The edited elements are saved in the entry stage.
    • Open an Element for Editing
    • Edit an Element Listing
  6. View the contents in the element listing.
    For more information, see:
    • Open an Element for Editing
    • View an Element Listing
  7. View the details of the message in the Endevor Log view as necessary. Any operation that results in an Endevor action produces an Action Summary Report. This report is available in the Endevor Log view.

    For more information, see Endevor Log View.

    Note: As you perform certain operations (such as Add to project, Add to Endevor, and Delete) in the Project, Search Map, and Element views are refreshed.

    For more information, see Refresh Views.
