Waterfall library display.

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

i'm facing, several times now, since i start coding with RPP a problem with data creation/ modification.

With PACBASE data elements, "segments" and data structure were defined in to libraries. The libraries itselves were hierarchicaly organized in a waterfall view. The developer could only have access to data elements defined in "upper" libraries.

Now in RPP the view from the libraries is a flat all libraries seems to be on the same level. They're displayed as projects. Fine, but the software continue to enforce the rules depicted upwards !

Unfortunately developers tends to create new data in the same libraries than their code as they see all the projects on the same level of the tree. And so the data are no longer sharable with others libraries. So i spent these days some hours to migrate data segments and update the data structures to fill the gap.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because it will be to complicated to represent the hierarchical view of several projects and you have already some actions to represent and filter the content of the design explorer.
