Chapter 6 Working with Links Viewing Link Properties
Table 6-4 describes the information that is displayed in the links view.
By default, the links displayed in the links view are sorted according to link type and the deep collection
method.
The buttons in Table 6-5 are displayed at the top of the links view and enable you to filter the links
according to the collection method.
Note If you load a map with many links (for example, thousands of links), it can take a w hile for the complete
list of links to load. The filtering options in the table are unavailable until the table has completely
loaded.
