    Double-clicking on a first-level entity grouping invokes an entity view displaying all entities of the selected type. In the entity views, append entity attributes, including those which are referenced, as columns and use column filters for fast and efficient review, editing, sorting, and filtering.

    Double-clicking on a second-level entity grouping invokes a filtered entity view displaying just the entities of the selected sub-type. Here, you can review and edit the entities of interest.
