How to Use the Data Explorer to Locate Objects
You can use the Data Explorer in the All Objects list to navigate to objects such as attributes and metrics in your project. You can add these attributes to the view filter, report filter, the report grid, and so on.
The Data Explorer represents the hierarchies within your project and allows you to quickly identify the structure of the hierarchies and where various attributes exist within them.
You must have the necessary designer privileges to use the Data Explorer. For more information, contact your administrator.
