Filtering Components Display in the Applicative Tree

In the applicative tree, you can choose to display or hide components whether they are placed in a diagram view or not. The applicative tree is a tree where items are organized by types.

Note: Except for disconnects, the filters cannot be applied on ports.

This task shows you how to:
