The Glue Object Navigator is similar to ABAP Object Navigator and can be used to organize programming in an integrated development environment. The Object Navigator incorporates several browsers used for various development purposes:

Glue Data Dictionary
Glue Data Browser
Glue Extractor Workbench
Glue Extractor 2.0 object
Glue Infoproviders Management
Glue Scripts Repository
Transport Management
Business Object

In general, the Glue Workbench gives you the possibility to use the whole Datavard Glue functionality from one place.

The Object Navigator has two primary areas: navigation area and tool area. The navigation area is used for the hierarchical display of lists of development objects, also known as object lists. The list of the currently active browsers is also displayed there. The tool area is not a part of the Object Navigator. It only provides the window where various development tools are open.
In both areas, you can select functions from a context menu. The options available in the context menu are different for the various development objects.

In the Object Navigator, you have a complete overview of the development objects. This gives you an advantage that while editing an object, you can still see the other lower- or higher-level objects belonging to the same package.

Tool areas are exactly the same as Glue Edit screens for most of the Glue objects and they are described in the documentations for particular GLUE components:

GlueTables - Data Dictionary, transaction /DVD/GL11
Extractors - Extractor Workbench, transaction /DVD/GLWB
Scripts - Script Editor, transaction /DVD/GL38
InfoProviders - InfoProvider Management, transaction /DVD/GLIP

Additionally, Extractor 2.0 objects, Business Objects and Delta Merge setup is reachable from Object navigator.
