Navigating the structure panes

When you first open an object in the Multi-Structure Manager application, the collaboration pane and a structure pane are displayed. The context displays as the root of the collaboration pane tree; the first root of the first structure (if any) is shown in the structure panes.

If the Multi-Structure Manager application is running and you open another component, the opened component is displayed. However, if the opened component contains the current structure, the display does not change.

If you open a structure component, the details displayed depend on the previously opened component, as follows:

  • If you open a component for which where there is no structure pane, the structure appears in a new structure pane.

  • If you open a component for which there is already a structure pane, the structure pane is selected.

You can optionally open two structure at the same time in different structure panes. This allows you to relate objects (occurrences, occurrence groups, views, or items) in one structure to similar objects in the other structure.
