Comparing the By VTS and By Type Displays

The elements in the By VTS and By Type displays are very similar and can be used to do
many of the same things. For example, double-clicking an element in either display opens
it in its editor and inspector. (Selecting an element in one display also selects that same
element in the other.)

The primary difference is in how they are organized.

By VTS: Lists the elements based on the VTS they belong to. A VTS can have only one

track (which can also have stories) or one slideshow, but it can have multiple menus
and scripts.

By Type: Lists the elements based on their type (menus, tracks, slideshows, and scripts).

See

Using the Outline Tab

for more information on using the By Type display.

Note: The Languages section in the By Type display does not represent actual elements—it
represents languages that can be used for the menus. It does not appear in the By VTS
display because it is not specific to a VTS.
