Expands or hides subgroups (nodes). You can also do this by clicking the "+" or "-" in the tree structure.

To expand or collapse the entire tree, position your cursor on the top node and choose Expand/Collapse .

You can display and print different summarizations of the hierarchy.

Find values

Searches for values within the given group.

Choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step <Object> Next navigation step Search. End of the navigation path The group is expanded to the value selected. The system marks the value.

  3. Save your change.

Delete node

  3. Answer the confirmation prompt with Yes.

You may only delete the given node if it is not used in any other place in the system.
