Expand Control

This section lets you control the expansion limit of nodes.

Suppress expansion at

Specifies in 1000s the number of violations that prevents a node from being expanded. If the number of entries under a particular node exceeds the limit, the node is not expanded by default.

Environment variable: suppressAbutFailMsgs

If you select markers in the canvas and their parent category is not expandable in the browser pane, you can still use the Go To The Next Selected Marker and Go To The Previous Selected Marker buttons in the Annotation Browser toolbar to cycle through the selected markers. Additionally, you can override the global limit for an individual node by positioning the pointer over the node, right-clicking, and choosing Unsuppress Expansion from the shortcut menu.

Hierarchy Control

This section lets you control the depth level of hierarchy searched.

Hierarchy depth

Specifies the number of levels of hierarchy searched for markers. The default is 3.

Environment variable: hierarchyDepth

Cross selection

Specifies whether cross selection is allowed between Annotation Browser and Navigator or Canvas. The default is selected, which means that the cross selection is allowed.

Environment variable: crossSelect

Default Open

Specifies the default open behavior when you descend into a cellview.

Mode

Specifies whether the cellview is opened for edit or read.

Environment variable: openMode

Open in

Specifies whether the cellview is opened in a new tab, the current tab, or a new window.

Environment variable: openLocation

Marker Highlighting

This section lets you specify the marker highlighting options.

Remove highlighting when browser is closed

Removes the highlighting in the design canvas when you close the Annotation Browser assistant. The default is off, which means the markers remain highlighted in the canvas when you close the browser.

Environment variable: hideMarkersWhenBrowserHidden

Automatic highlighting

Controls the highlight state of newly created markers in the design canvas. For example, when you delete a part of a completed route in the canvas, an open marker is created automatically. This option controls whether the dragline representing that marker is automatically displayed or not.

• Highlight new marker categories specifies that draglines are displayed automatically in the canvas to represent newly created marker categories.
• Highlight new markers specifies that draglines are displayed automatically in the canvas to represent newly created individual markers.
• Inherit from parent category specifies that a newly created marker inherits the highlight state from its parent category. If the category is only partially highlighted, the dragline representing the new marker is not automatically highlighted.

Environment variable: automaticHighlight
