Go Up to Preferences

There are two different preferences you can set for the Model View:

Preference Description

Automatically Expand when Clicking Expand All Button

If you have large models and click the Expand All icon in the Model View, you will get a dialog warning you that this action may take an extended length of time. Prompt: The warning dialog will always appear. Always: The Expand All action happens without the warning dialog.

Display Tooltips

When “On” is selected, a descriptive text box appears when the cursor is placed on an icon or node in the Model View tree.

Group Objects by Type

Objects within a model are displayed in the tree grouped by type (for example, a Task node will contain all of the tasks within the model).

Select presentation nodes when using the Find In Model View Feature

If this preference is set, both the presentation element node (designated by a small arrow placed on the element ICON PRESENTATION ELEMENT.PNG)

as well as the element node are highlighted in the Model View tree.
