		Use the node tree viewer to navigate node groups supporting your container environments.

Hiding the Tree Viewer

Once you have selected the scope of systems to review you can hide the tree viewer. If you are working on a smaller screen or laptop it will be easier to view tables and charts with the increased screen space.

By default, the tree view is pinned to the left side of the screen.

When the viewer is pinned, click the chevrons to open/close the tree viewer.
