As shown in Figure 9-1. Detailed Record Information, clicking on a record in the Data View
will open a window showing detailed information on that record.
The color of the record for which a record detail window is shown becomes different fromthat of the other records, and the same color appears at the top of the record detail window.
Each time a record is clicked, the color changes at random.

10. Change the Sequence of Displaying Layers
The sequence of displaying layers can be changed by moving the datasets in the Project View.
By moving a project, the datasets and projects that are subordinate to that project can be
moved collectively.
If a dataset or project is moved into another project, the dataset or project will be placed at
the bottom of the project to which they belong.
It is impossible to move a project between datasets.
Figure 10-1. Moving a Layer (Before) and Figure 10-2. Moving a Layer (After) show how thedataset “sample 1” is moved under the dataset “sample 2.”

11. Layer Visible/Invisible
A dataset or project in the Data View can be made visible or invisible in the Data View bychecking or unchecking the checkbox that precedes dataset or project. Figure 11-1. Invisible
Layer shows an example in which the dataset “sample 2” is made invisible.
Note: When a given project is made invisible, all datasets and projects subordinate to thatproject will be invisible, irrespective of the status of their own checkboxes.

Figure 11-1. Invisible Layer

Using the Select All and None buttons at the top of the Project View, you can collectively
switch all datasets and projects between invisible and visible.
Note: However, the Select All and None buttons cannot change the status of checkboxes forthe datasets and projects that are subordinate to a given project when the folder icon of the
project is closed.

12. Change Layer Height
The height of layers in the Data View can be changed as follows.
Dragging the borderline between layers, as shown in Figure 12-1. Change Layer Height(Before), will change the height of the layers to the Figure 12-2. Change Layer Height (After).
Note: Layer height change can be also made as described in “17.8. Change Layer Height.”

As shown in Figure 16-1. Time Cursor, there is a time-indicating cursor that stretches acrossmore than one layer and moves from side to side, following the motion of the mouse.

Figure 16-1. Time Cursor

16.2. Show Data on the Time Cursor
If you move the mouse up and down, the data on the time cursor within a layer on which themouse is focused is shown. Refer to Figure16-2. Show Data on the Time Cursor 1 and Figure16-3. Show Data on the Time Cursor 2.

16.3. Highlight a Time Span Using the Time Cursor
As shown in Figure 16-4. Highlight a Time Span Using the Time Cursor, you can specify atime span by dragging the mouse on a layer. The specified time span will be highlighted in adifferent color.
Time span specification can be cancelled by double-clicking the highlighted area or clicking
the mouse at any point outside the highlighted area.

16.4. Highlight an Additional Time Span
By dragging the mouse on a layer while pressing the Ctrl button on the keyboard, you canspecify an additional time span. Refer to Figure 16-5. Highlight an Additional Time Span. The
specified time span will be highlighted. If the additional time span overlaps with a span orspans already specified, they will be combined to be one continuous time span. Refer to Figure16-6. Time Spans Combined.
