Select a database or Profile

The selected database or Profile determines which Tables, folders, Records, and Subsets are shown in the Contents tree, and also defines the scope of any searches performed in MI Viewer.

If multiple databases and Profiles are available, you can switch between them here.

Your MI Data Administrator may or may not have configured Profiles for use in your system. Profiles can be used to present different sets of data from one or more databases in a single, easy-to-navigate and easily searchable collection.  Profiles can include a home page which you can view at any time by clicking Home on the MI Viewer toolbar or at the top of the Contents tree.

Users with Grant or Data Administrator MI system security privileges can also see an ‘Everything’ entry at the top of this list which allows them to view all of the databases currently available in your Granta MI system.
