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

Column	Information
Element Long Name	The long name assigned to the element in caDSR.
Element Physical Name	The name of the element in the physical data model.
Element Type	The 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 ID	The unique caDSR public ID for the element.
Element Version	The version number.
Element Description	The model owner's description of the model element.
Element Mapping Group	A 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 Definition	The definition of the element mapping group.

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

Column	Information
Element Long Name	The long name assigned to the element in caDSR.
Element Physical Name	The name of the element in the physical data model.
Element Type	The 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 Name	The long name of the characteristic with no restrictions on the format.
Characteristic Physical Name	The physical name of the characteristic.
Characteristic Order	The order of characteristics.
Characteristic Type	The type of characteristic.
