Reltio IDE overview

Visualize the ontology in Reltio IDE

Learn how to open the ontology view in Reltio IDE to see your tenant's entity types and the relationships between them.

The ontology view in Reltio IDE displays entity types and the relationships between them. Use the ontology view to understand how your entity types relate to each other after you create or change configuration objects. The ontology view reflects your local configuration file, not the live tenant configuration.

To open the ontology view
  1. Open the ontology view using one of the following methods.
    • Select the ... (More Actions) menu in the editor toolbar and select Reltio: Show Ontology Preview.
    • Right-click an entity type or relation type in the RELTIO IDE view and select Show in Ontology.
    • Press Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux to open the Command Palette, type ontology, and select Reltio: Show Ontology Preview.
    • Right-click an object type (such as an entity type, relation type, and so on) in the RELTIO IDE view, and select Show in Ontology.
  2. In the ontology preview, review each entity type node, which shows its name, the number of attributes (Attrs), the number of connections (Conn), and the number of match rules.
  3. Review the labeled arrows connecting entity types. Arrows show the relation type name, inheritance connections labeled extends, and reference attribute connections showing the number of reference attributes between entity types.
  4. To reset the ontology preview to its default arrangement, press Cmd+Shift+P on macOS, or Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows and Linux to open the Command Palette, then run Reltio: Reset Ontology Layout.

Result

The ontology preview displays your entity types and the relationships between them, based on your local configuration file. It's for visualization only, you cannot edit objects or export the diagram from it.

Validation

To confirm the ontology view opened correctly:

  1. Confirm that the ontology view panel opens alongside the editor.
  2. Confirm that your entity types appear as labeled nodes with their attribute and connection counts.
  3. Confirm that the relationships between entity types appear as labeled arrows.
