Tree View Options

The Tree view displays the classification scheme of records as a tree (similar to Windows Explorer). You can define various classification criteria and enter their representatives in advance, such as countries, persons, keywords, etc. If you want to see all of these entries (no matter if they are assigned to any record or not) in the Tree View, check  the corresponding boxes in Options -> Grid -> Tree View. If you want to view only the entries, that are assigned to some record, do not check the boxes .

A more detailed description of the Tree View and the Classifications can be found in the corresponding sections of this manual.
