Sample Context

The Sample Context box that displays beneath the Template Editor toolbar allows you to select the starting object to use for the expansion of the template. By default, the Template Editor attempts to select an Entity object when it is invoked. You can change this selection at any time to view the impact of changes to a template. For each object listed, it shows the name of the object, its type, and a string representing its ownership chain in the model to allow objects with the same name to be distinguished from each other.

You can select the Show all check box so that all objects that are valid as sample contexts are added to the Sample Context box. By default, only a representative sampling of each type of object is shown in the Sample Context box.
