    Click the "5. Model Elements" node. A grid appears with the following columns:

    ColumnInformation
    Element Long NameThe long name assigned to the element in caDSR. 
    Element Physical NameThe name of the element in the physical data model.
    Element TypeThe kind of model element this item represents, such as Table, Node, Class. This is usually driven by the type of model being registered.
    Element Public IDThe unique caDSR public ID for the element.
    Element VersionThe version number.
    Element DescriptionThe model owner's description of the model element.
    Element Mapping GroupA high-level alignment of this model element with a common core semantics or meaning of the Element. If CDEs are linked with the associated Characteristics, the CDE semantics will be used for the Characteristic, even if different than mapping group. 
    Element Mapping Group DefinitionThe definition of the element mapping group.

    Click the "7. Flattened View - Elements, Characteristics, CDEs" node. A grid appears with the following columns:

    ColumnInformation
    Element Long NameThe long name assigned to the element in caDSR. 
    Element Physical NameThe name of the element in the physical data model.
    Element TypeThe kind of model element this item represents, such as Table, Node, Class. This is usually driven by the type of model being registered.
    Characteristic Long NameThe long name of the characteristic with no restrictions on the format.
    Characteristic Physical NameThe physical name of the characteristic.
    Characteristic OrderThe order of characteristics.
    Characteristic TypeThe type of characteristic. 
    Mandatory?An indication of whether this characteristic must be populated with data in a transformation. 
    Default ValueThe default value for the model.
    CDE Public IDThe CDE public ID.
    CDE VersionThe CDE version number.
    CDE Long NameThe CDE long name. 
    CDE ContextThe Owning Context of the CDE.
    VD Public IDThe public ID of the value domain.
    VD VersionThe version number of the value domain.
    VD Long NameThe long name of the value domain. 
    VD TypeThe type of value domain: Enumerated or Non-enumerated.
    Char Data TypeThe data type of the characteristic, such as integer or varchar(50).
    VD Standard Data TypeThe standard data type of the value domain, such as Integer or Character.
    Char UOMThe unit of measure of the characteristic.
    VD UOMThe unit of measure of the Value Domain.
    Char Min LengthThe minimum length of the characteristic.
    VD Min LengthThe minimum length of the value domain.
    Char Max LengthThe maximum length of the characteristic.
    VD Max LengthThe maximum length of the value domain.
    DEC Public IDThe public ID of the DEC.
    DEC VersionThe version number of the DEC.
    DEC Long NameThe long name of the DEC.
    DEC ContextThe context of the DEC.
    Char PK?Is the characteristic a primary key or part of a PK for the element?
    Char FK?Does the characteristic have a parent via foreign Key association?
    FK Element Physical NameParent Element Physical name if characteristic is a foreign key.
    FK Characteristics Physical NameParent Element Characteristic Physical Name if foreign key association is indicated.
    Element DescriptionThe model owner's description of the model element.
    Characteristic DescriptionThe description of the characteristic.
    Element Mapping GroupA high-level alignment of this model element with a common core semantics or meaning of the Element. If CDEs are linked with the associated Characteristics, the CDE semantics will be used for the Characteristic, even if different than mapping group.
