Chapter View

The Chapter View displays the content (Document Objects and sub-chapters) of a chapter or book in a tree-like structure. This view is displayed; e.g., when you click on a Document Object type name in the Project Explorer or when you click on a chapter in the chapter path (breadcrumbs) displayed on the top of a Document Object form or when selecting Go to Chapter for a chapter in the Chapter View,

The Chapter view is divided into two areas. To the left, the chapter structure is displayed. The right area is reserved for displaying Document Objects in tab mode.

Display a Document Object in Tab mode

Click on a Document Object title in the Chapter View tree, the Document Object is displayed in a tab to the right of the Chapter Tree. Several Document Objects can be displayed as tabs simultaneously.

Display a Document Object in Full display mode

Click on a Document Object ID to display the Document Object in Full display mode.

Inspect Document Object "health" using Positive Cues

A Document Objects "health" can be displayed next to its ID as a coloured dot. This health status is called a Positive Cue in Aligned Elements.

A Positive Cue is a collection of inconsistency rules that are evaluated together.

If any of the rules are not fulfilled, the dot is coloured with a negative colour (usually red).

If all rules are fulfilled, the dot is coloured with a positive colour (usually green).

Each Positive Cue has a name. Click on the name in the Positive Cue bar to inspect the "health" status for that Cue. Toggle to a different Cue name to see the "health" for that Cue. Click the reload button to refresh the Cue state.

It is possible to configure any number of Positive Cues for a type. Each Cue is configured with a list of inconsistency rules, a positive and a negative colour and a name.
