About Explorer Views

An explorer view displays data in a compact hierarchical format. Typically, you can access an explorer view by clicking an explorer hyperlink on the link bar below the screen tab. Figure 7 shows an example of an explorer view.

An explorer view is an expandable tree view. The tree control appears in the left pane of the content area. You select the control for the tree branch that you want to view, and the detail information for that tree branch appears in the right pane.

A folder in the tree preceded by an arrow contains other folders. Click the arrow to expand the folder and show its contents. The list in the right pane always shows the contents of the selected folder in the tree control. Click to the left of a folder to collapse the folder.

NOTE:  If you cannot access a parent record, then you cannot access any of that record's child or grandchild records in an explorer view, even if you can access the child or grandchild records in other views.
