Tree Objects

The Tree is a hierarchy of objects available in the EASAP Builder.

The child objects one level below 'EASAP' are called branches, objects two levels below are called sub-branches.

EASAP

EASAP > USER INTERFACE > FORM LIST or TABBED PANE LIST > FORM or TABBED PANE
EASAP > PROCESSES
EASAP > OUTPUT
- DATA PROCESSING
  - SCALAR
  - LIST

EASAP > USER INTERFACE > FORM LIST or TABBED PANE LIST
- EVENT PROCESSING
  - EVENT
  - ACTION

The EASA Help Pages use two different notions for parent-child object relationships,
1. A greater-than-sign to show parent - child relationships horizontally,
  - parent_object_A > child_object_B
2. Indented space in a vertical outline format similar to expanded Tree objects in the EASAP Builder,
  - parent_object_A
    - child_object_B
