The Object Explorer allows you to view and access objects in Intelligence Central. Review this topic to learn how you can group and display objects, identify objects by icon, filter object lists, and organize objects into folders.
In the Object Explorer, you can see only the objects that you own or that have been shared with you.
Tip: Select an object and click , to view sharing/visibility options for the object.
You can see all the secured folders that have been shared with you. (You can also see the parent folder of a secured folder that has been shared with you.) See Folders in Intelligence Central for more information.
Tip: Select a folder and click , to view sharing/visibility options for the folder.
The visibility of objects can also be affected by Intelligence Central (2.7 or later) licensing. To inquire about server licensing, you may want to contact your Intelligence Central administrator.
Note: Place your cursor over an open Intelligence Central connection in the Connection Manager to view licensed modules.
In the Object Explorer, click to select a display option. You can group objects by the following:

Toad allows you to create custom folders and move objects into and out of custom folders in Intelligence Central. This is useful for grouping objects from several different data sources into one folder.
The custom folders are displayed along with the default folders created by Toad (e.g., for grouping objects into categories, such as the created by and object type folders) in the Object Explorer.
Note: Beginning in Toad Data Point 3.7, data source folders are no longer created. Data source folders have been replaced by Database folders.
For objects created in Toad Data Point 3.6 or earlier, a data source folder was created for each data source and displays in the Object Explorer.
If a data source has a Shared key, the Shared key user name is appended to the data source in the folder name.
<database abbrev>_<host>_<user name>
<database abbrev>_<host>_<database name>_<user name>
Use the Database Explorer (Viewer) to view detailed information about an object.
