Selecting the View Format
The object-based display is virtually identical to the standard Alerts window: it shows a
list of all lowest-level objects contained in the view. No navigation is needed to find the
state of an object. All information is easily at hand, so there is no need to move through
different levels of the hierarchy to find specific object-state information, but information
for a specific object can be difficult to find as the number of entries increases.
To choose a display mode:
1. Choose Properties from the View menu, or click the Configure View Properties
button on the toolbar. The properties dialog box for the Custom View appears.
2. Specify the display mode:
•
To display objects hierarchically, click Hierarchical in the Mode panel.
•
To display objects using a simple list, click Object in the Mode panel.
To quickly switch between hierarchical and object display modes, click the
Hierarchical View and Object View buttons on the toolbar.
3. Click OK or Apply to save the change, or click Cancel to discard it.
