Reveal CIs Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to search for CIs related to the CIs in a model and add them to the model.

To access

In the Model Editor of the Modeling Studio, select a CI, click the Reveal button, and select Start Revealing or right-click a CI in the model and select Reveal > Start Revealing.
Important information

The upper pane displays the CI types of the CIs related to the selected CI. The lower pane displays the CIs of the type selected in the upper pane.

The first step in the reveal path is the CI type of the CI you began with. When you select a CI type from the list in the upper pane, that CI type becomes the second step in the path. Click Next to display the CI types available for the next step of the path.

The number at the top of the box in parentheses indicates the length of the constructed path thus far.
