  • Auto-size Grid - Columns in the Grid tab automatically expand to fit the Header text. When disabled, the columns are a uniform width regardless of content.
  • Tree Columns - Enable/Disable additional information columns to the tree to display the Association, Validation Type, Enabled, Repeatable, Mangle and Tie properties of a Feature or Characteristic.ImageImage

    DataSmith Tree with Columns

  • Show Horizontal Lines in Tree - Draws horizontal lines in the tree to indicate rows of information.
  • Show Vertical Lines in Tree - Draws vertical lines in the tree to indicate column boundaries.
  • Wordwrap Tree - Any text that does not fit within the alloted area of the tree is wrapped to the next line.

For larger Configs with many Tree Columns enabled, the Wordwrap Tree option may cause the application to appear frozen due to the large amount of information that must be loaded. It is recommended to only use the word wrap option with few or no additional tree columns enabled.
