To view details of an infrastructure item

    • A list of your infrastructure objects.
    • The results of any infrastructure search.
    • Any infrastructure report.
  2. Click any highlighted object in the list to display the View Object page, which lists the attributes of the object and its relationships with other objects.

From this page, you can view any other related object, or you can delete the object.
