Using Expand/Collapse buttons

Expand/Collapse buttons are found on Templates having at least two levels of Steps. Using these buttons, you can view a Template at the required depth.

While browsing through long Templates containing several levels of Steps, it might be useful to view all Steps of a certain level at once. The Expand/Collapse buttons can be found in the top right corner of the workspace pane.

The Expand/Collapse buttons are available in all Templates and Templates under Edition.

Note

The Expand/Collapse buttons allow users to Expand/Collapse Steps at any required level in a Template.

In the following example, the Template Maintenance contains Level 3 Steps.

In a Template containing multi-level Steps, you can Collapse Steps at the required level.

Note

When you view a Template, the Steps at all Levels are Collapsed by default.

If you Collapse Steps at Level 2, all the Levels deeper than Level 2 (Level 3, Level 4 etc) are automatically collapsed.

In the below example, clicking Collapse_button.png Collapse lvl2 collapses all the Level 2 and Level 3 Steps. Only the Level 1 Steps are displayed.
