# Show All

The ‘Show All’ option will generate a full overview of your entire data vault model.

With ‘Show All’ selected at the top left, Click the ‘Generate’ button at the right to generate your full overview.

> ⚠️ Be aware that for a very large data vault model, creation of this overview could take a very long time, or even fail to load because of it’s size!

You can use some of the controls to get a clearer overview of what is exactly in your model.  Use the ‘FullScreen’ button at the right to enlarge the canvas.  You can also use your mouse to zoom in/out and move the model around.

By default the screen has an auto-placement of the objects, where it will try to find the optimal location to place all the objects.  Meaning that even when you drag them around, the objects will try to move back to an optimal place themselves.  If you don’t like the object ‘moving around’ on the canvas, you can disable this behaviour by using the ‘Disable physics’ option.

You can even copy this to your clipboard if you want to use this query as a base for some actions on your database.

# Inspect Single Object

By selecting “inspect single object” and choosing an Object from the Drop-Down Menu and choosing a Depth, clicking Generate will show you all the Objects around the selected One up to the defined Depth.

Selecting a Source from the Drop-Down Menu will limit the shown Objects to only the ones from that specific source.
