Outline panel
The outline is a tree structured index of the object contents and is both part of the workspace window and can also be opened in a separate window in several ways. This allows you to have outline windows open for multiple objects.
In addition to object contents, the outline includes page and database event triggers when whey are subscribed.
Click an item in the outline to navigate to the declaration in the current workspace view.
Right-click an item in the outline to activate the same Default declaration context menu that is available in Object view and Extended view
As part of the workspace window, the outline follows the current object when the windows was opened. When opened as a separate window, the window sticks to the object that was current/selected when opened.
