The PA-specific Outline view displays the key data in the currently active spreadsheet or bar chart.
When you open a csv file in the Spreadsheet view, the key data in the spreadsheet is displayed in the Outline view in the form of a tree. The key data is: date, time, application, and transaction.
When you first open a csv file, the data is displayed in the order in which it was generated, by date and time. You can sort the data by column in the spreadsheet view and select multiple rows of data. The data files can be quite large with a lot of detail, and after sorting it is difficult to understand where specific data fits into the overall time period.
The Outline view displays the key data in the original time order. As you select one or more rows in the spreadsheet, the transactions in the selected rows are highlighted in the Outline view
When you display a bar chart from the selected data, the Outline view displays the selection details. You can find a specific transaction in the bar chart by clicking the transaction in the Outline view. The bar chart is repositioned so that the selection is visible and the transaction bar is shaded to indicate that it is selected.
Selecting an application in the Outline view selects all the transaction associated with the application in the bar chart, but, depending on the data sort order, they might not all be visible at the same time.
