The Outline view displays device and field information
for a specific format definition file.
When you select an item in the Outline view, that item is highlighted
in the design canvas and
the Source page.
The item's property value information is shown in the Properties view.
The Outline view is displayed by default. You can change the MFS
Editor preferences to
hide this view.
Adding device format and message components
When
you select a device format or message component in the Outline view,
you can add new child components from the pop-up menu. For example,
if you select a logical page, you can select
New segment from
the pop-up menu.
