Tree

Track history of displayed views

Select this check box to track the history of view display in the current working session. Once they have been displayed, the views are identified in the tree with a light purple background.

Note: Already-displayed views remain highlighted with the light purple background within the current working session, even if you deactivate the setting later on.

Views that have not been displayed yet are identified in the tree using a transparent background.
