The Flowchart provides several visual clues about items and their links. The disc icon represents the root of the
hierarchy. Each item in the Flowchart can include a thumbnail. A quick glance at a thumbnail informs you of the
element type (slide show, timeline, and so on), its buttons (for menus), audio and subtitle track information, and the
chapter being linked to (for timelines, slide shows, playlists, and chapter playlists).
The lines joining the element thumbnails also convey useful link information. By noting the line style, you can differ-
entiate between normal links, links that have been overridden, and other useful link attributes.

Flowchart thumbnails
Thumbnails provide visual clues about elements and links. Elements in the Flowchart display thumbnails by default.
A given element may appear numerous times in the Flowchart, depending on its links. For the first occurrence of an
element, the original, the element appears at full opacity. Additional occurrences of an item, or its aliases, appear at
50% opacity. Original menus include buttons.
A
A button (A) links to a timeline with an end action linking back to the menu. The menu appears twice, once as the actual element (A), and
once as an alias (B).
Items used in the project, linked via some path to the disc icon, appear in the upper pane of the Flowchart. Unused
items appear in the lower pane of the Flowchart.
Thumbnails also include type icons and info badges, and are joined with link lines.
Type icons
The icon in the upper left corner of an object's thumbnail denotes the type of item: menu
playlist , chapter playlist
Info badges
The info badge in the upper right corner of an item's thumbnail details certain attributes, depending upon the type
of item. (The audio and subtitle track badges actually denote tracks specified by the incoming link, not attributes of
the item.) The labels on an info badge denote the following attributes:
Default button is set to none.
None
Default button is set to button [n].
B[n]
Default button is set to the active audio track.
BA
Default button is set to the active subtitle track.
