Customizing Industry Model Explorer

The AutoCAD Map 3D toolset Maintenance workspace displays the Industry Model explorer pane. By default, it is on the left side of the application window. It contains the Industry Model explorer, which you use to view and edit data.

Industry model explorer profiles

You can define industry model explorer profiles, which determine which items are displayed in the Industry Model explorer. You can configure Industry Model explorers for each industry model. Definitions and objects that can be shown in the industry model explorer are:

Data Model	Processes feature classes.
Domains	Processes domain tables.
Topologies	Lists the topologies.
Intersections	Starts intersection definitions
System	Lists the Client system tables.
Explorer Groups	Specifies an explorer profile.
Job By	Displays jobs ordered by date, state or type.
Job Enabled Topics	Displays job-enabled feature classes.
Jobs	Displays jobs
Plot	Lists the plot feature classes. We recommend that you do not display the plot feature classes in the industry model explorer.
Viewports	Lists the viewports.
Workflows	Lists the workflows.

Context menus

In general, each of the items in the industry model explorer has a context menu that allows you to perform all relevant operations. For each user group, you can define which context menus are available for each item.

There are two steps for customizing context menus:

• Use Menu (Basis) to define which menus are available for each type of Industry Model explorer item, such as a point feature class or a topology. You can control the functionality available for each user group. For example, you can limit the commands that members a user group can use.
• Use Menu (Single) to further define which specific menus are available for each individual item, such as a specific feature class or an individual topic.

Fly-ins

You can define the available fly-ins for each industry model and user group. Fly-ins on the Industry Model explorer can be either docked in (included in the application window) or docked out (independently flying on the desktop).

Some examples of fly-ins:

• Industry Model Explorer
• Job Management
• Workflow Explorer

Note: Some fly-ins are available only in the Infrastructure Application Extension.
