The Schema Collection Inspector, shown in the following diagram, is displayed when you have selected a class or classes from the deployment Schema Inspector dialog with the appropriate security.
The Schema Collection Inspector title bar specifies the number of instances of the selected class. The list box at the left contains an entry for each instance of the selected class or classes.
