Viewing Channels in a Table

Viewing the Channel Editor in a tabular format makes it easy to navigate the channel hierarchy and locate keyframe information. The tabular information can be sorted by channel value, keyframe, and expression.

To view or browse data in a tabular format:

1. Click Animation to display the Channel Editor.
2. From the Channel View box, select Info.

   The Channel Editor displays the Information Table view.

3. Click one of the following:
   - The arrow next to a folder to expand it to view the channels or other folders it contains. Click the arrow again to collapse the folder.
     NoteScene channels at the top level of the hierarchy cannot be collapsed.
   - The Hierarchy View button to better view the channel hierarchy.
   - A channel or folder name to select it. If you select a folder, all the channels and other folders it contains are selected. Ctrl-click it again to unselect it.
   - A column heading to sort by channel, value, number of keys, or expressions, in ascending or descending order.
   TipWhen using cascading expressions, the order in which channels are selected is important. To display the selection order, hold Ctrl and select channels in the Info channel view. When you select a parent entry, all child entries are numbered sequentially after the parent entry. See Cascading Expressions.
