The Organizer allows users to view an application as a whole, helping the edition and configuration of all involved objects by using a hierarchical tree of options. It contains the Domain and Explorer view modes.
Organizer
The Domain mode shows only information about open objects belonging to a Domain. This information is divided into Settings, Objects Library, View, and Server Objects groups. Each group presents its objects sorted out alphabetically inside its respective node.
Domain mode
The Settings group shows all configured servers, as well as names of project and library files belonging to a Domain.
The Objects Library group collects ElipseX objects from all libraries in a Domain, sorted out by type, XControls, XFolders, and XObjects.
The remaining Elipse E3 objects are in View or Server Objects groups. View contains objects executing in the client computer. Objects executing in the server computer are in Server Objects.
The Explorer mode shows all projects and libraries currently open in Elipse E3 Studio, whether they belong to a Domain or not. These objects are shown inside the project or library they belong to, sorted out alphabetically.
Explorer mode
Application maintenance can be handled in both modes. Operations performed in one mode are immediately reflected in the other mode. To make it easier to locate all objects, both modes are interchangeable between each other and between the Design tab in the object's View. To toggle between viewing modes, follow these procedures:
1.In Domain mode, right-click an object and select the Show in Explorer 
option to view it in Explorer mode.
2.In Explorer mode, right-click an object and select the Show in Organizer 
option to view it in Domain mode.
3.In either mode, right-click an object and select the Show in Editor option to view it on the Design tab.
4.In any object's View, on the Design tab, right-click an object and select the Show in Organizer or Show in Explorer option to view it in Organizer, in its respective mode.
When left-clicking an object, its properties can be viewed and edited in the Properties List, if enabled. By right-clicking an item in Organizer, the options on the next table are displayed.
