Viewing the model in the Outline view

The system model can contain many resource elements. The Sysplex views display only a part of the model. You can use the scroll bars in the Sysplex views to move around the model. However the Outline view provides an alternative navigation method. The Outline view displays the complete contents of sysplex pane. The individual resource elements are too small to see any detail, but a shaded area represents the viewing area that is displayed in the Sysplex view.

As you drag the shaded area around the outline view, the display in the Sysplex view changes to match the area selected in the Outline view. As you zoom in or zoom out in the Sysplex views, the shaded area in the Outline view changes to reflect the area displayed.
