Cycle Definition Dialog Box

This dialog box enables you to define a cyclical hierarchy in a view.

To access In the Modeling Studio, right-click a query node in the Hierarchy pane of the Pattern View Editor and select Define Cycles.
Important information You can extend the TQL query definition of a view by defining a cycle in the view hierarchy. Select a query node in the Hierarchy pane to be the source query node. The Cycle Definition dialog box displays the valid target query nodes for that source. The target query node in the cycle, along with its hierarchy, is treated as a child or sibling of the source query node (depending on your folding rule selection).
