| 25 | <p>This application shows a hierarchical, relational, searchable |
| 26 | view of all of the product, feature, component, file, and patch |
| 27 | data managed by MSI, for all products installed on the system.</p> |
| 28 | <p><br/></p> |

| 30 | <h4>Navigation</h4> |
| 31 | <ol> |
| 32 | <li><p>The tree on the left is self-explanatory.</p></li> |
| 33 | <li><p>Click on a row-header (grey box on the left side of the |
| 34 | grid) to jump to a table with more details about the item referred |
| 35 | to by that row. For example, clicking on a row-header of a |
| 36 | table that lists components will take you to a table that lists |
| 37 | the files in that component. Not every table has this ability, |
| 38 | but the cursor will turn to a hand shape to indicate when this is |
| 39 | possible.</p></li> |
| 40 | <li><p>Also you can navigate back and forward through your history |
| 41 | using the buttons in the application or mouse buttons 4 and 5.</p></li> |
| 42 | </ol> |
| 43 | <p><br/></p> |
| 44 | |
| 45 | <h4>Searching</h4> |
| 46 | <p>The search feature is not hard to find. By default, searches |
| 47 | are limited to the current table. However, if you choose to find |
| 48 | "In Subtree" by checking the box, the search will include |
| 49 | the current table as well as all tables under the current location in |
| 50 | the tree. While this can take a long time if there is a lot of |
| 51 | data under the current node, you can stop the search at any time with |
| 52 | the stop button. The search pauses when a match is found, but |
| 53 | clicking "Find" again will continue the same search from that |
| 54 | point (unless you uncheck the "Continue" checkbox or change |
| 55 | the search string).</p> |
