Details Dialog Box
The dialog box shows detailed attributes of the clicked events. Function events,
messages and collective operations are shown in separate tabs. Each tab shows a list
of event entries.
This dialog box is available from the context menus of the Event Timeline and the
Qualitative Timeline.

If the column
Count
shows a value greater than one, the event was created by
merging several atomic events. Each entry representing a merged event shows a View,
which focuses on the data that went into this entry using the drill down button
shown next to the entry. This is called a Detail View; it is a full blown View
without restrictions. Use the check-box below the list to filter out the other event
categories in the Detail View to be opened. Left-click the Details dialog box to reuse an existing Detail View so that the
screen is not cluttered so easily. You can also right-click the drill down button to
open a new Detail View.
If source code location information is available for an entry, then a button
Show source
appears next to the entry. This button opens a Source
View
dialog box. The source code location is only available up to a certain
time interval. If the time interval is set in such a way that there is no enter
event for a function, then the Details
dialog is not aware of the source code
location and consequently there will not be a Show Source
button.When a
Details
dialog is opened, it preserves all the settings of its View
(aggregations, filters, ticks vs. seconds) and the event results for which it is
opened. Further changes to the View, like a change in Aggregation, do not affect the
dialog contents. When such a change is made to the View, the dialog View label is
made bold and an asterisk character *
appears in front of it. This is to
indicate that the details shown are not updated to match the View/Chart. When the
Chart or the View from which the Details Dialog originated are closed, the dialog is
also closed.
