Viewing information in modules

You can control the way that the modules are displayed in the module space by using the Layout menu.

Information in modules is displayed in a grid, with rows for objects and columns for attributes.

A navigation ribbon is displayed down the left side of the module window. The navigation ribbon represents the heading structure of the module. Level 1 objects are represented on the ribbon with a dark color. Lower-level objects are represented with lighter colors. When you click an object in the grid, an arrow on the ribbon indicates your position relative to the other objects in the module. When you hover the cursor over the ribbon, hover help displays the heading text of the corresponding object in the grid. Click the ribbon to go to that object in the grid.

If you open a module that contains many objects, not all the objects are downloaded. You can download the next group of objects by scrolling to the bottom of the display and clicking the Load button. Alternatively, to view an object that has not been downloaded, click it in the navigation ribbon.
