This section describes how to expand and collapse the Datapoints column view on the Connections widget. 

You can expand connection templates to show all applied contexts and all datapoint members, or collapse connection templates into a single line each. These features do not require unlocking/locking of operations and can be performed from both the CONNECTION TEMPLATES and DEPLOYED CONNECTIONS tabs on the Connections widget (shown below).


To expand connection templates to show all applied contexts and all datapoint members, click the Action button () and select the Expand All action, or Expand Selected action if any connections are selected.



Doing so expands the connections as shown for CON2 and CON3 in the CONNECTION TEMPLATES tab example below.



To collapse connection templates to a single line each, click the Action button () and select the Collapse All action, or Collapse Selected action if any connections are selected.



Doing so collapses the connections as shown for CON2 and CON3 in the CONNECTION TEMPLATES tab example below.
