Open the definition tree view over View > Navigation > Click the required database object (see Opening the definition tree view).
Use the definition tree view to display and edit different database objects in API Designer. A separate tab containing a unique definition tree view will be opened for each database object that you edit. A definition tree view opens when adding or editing database objects, for example.
A database object contains what are known as nodes, which you can display in a tree structure within the definition tree view and edit in the node editor view (see Node editor view). If you add a new database object to your project (for example, an API project), this database object is created with a predefined number of nodes and is shown in the object definition. The object definition is a type of view found within the definition tree view.
The predefined nodes contained in a database object form the basic structure of the database object. You cannot delete these nodes.
In addition to the predefined nodes, you can add extra nodes by right-clicking on the context menu. You can delete these nodes.
The following table gives you an overview of the various functions on the definition tree toolbar.

You can open the definition tree view at any time.
To open the definition tree view of a database object
In the menu bar, click View > Navigation.
In the navigation, double-click on the database object which holds the definitions you would like to display.
The definition tree view for the selected object opens in a separate tab.
To access the context menu, right-click a node in the definition tree window. The options available in the menu depend on the type of node selected (context-sensitive).
The top section of the context menu lists the node types that can be added to the selected node.
Some node types do not allow additional node types to be pasted into them. In such cases, the Object in extension function is at the top of the context menu. All other functions are either available or disabled, depending on the type of node and its position in the definition tree window.
