   The Dimensions CM Explorer pane opens in the workbench window with the Dimensions CM node collapsed.

4. After opening a connection to a server, you can browse a hierarchy of Dimensions CM objects that you are authorized to use. Click the plus or minus symbols to expand or collapse a node in the hierarchy.

To hide the Dimensions CM Explorer view, click the Close button in the upper right corner of the Dimensions CM Explorer pane. This frees workbench window space to display your code or perform other development tasks.
