Hi Dojo,

I have a view with many child DVEs. However, I'm not sure which one is the parent DVE. Is there a way to easily find this information through Cube?

Thanks!

Hi Caio,

You can find the parent element by simply looking at the name. DVEs are named <parent_element_name>.<identifier> like Parent_element.Slot1.

You can also look at the protocol of the DVE. The DVEs take the protocol of the parent element's protocol - so searching in Protocols & Templates also can help you find the parent element.

Hi,
I believe this the default behavior. However, there are some connectors that can implement a different approach. See the option exportProtocol in https://docs.dataminer.services/develop/schemadoc/Protocol/Protocol.Type-options.html
