Use the
Application View
 to display a graphical view of projects in a logically organized tree view. For
Trusted®
applications, projects include one device, programs, functions, function blocks, global variables, defined words, and libraries. For AADvance applications, projects include controllers, programs, functions, function blocks, controller variables, global data types, and libraries. The physical locations of project files can differ from the representation in the tree view structure.

TIP: For Sequential Function Chart (SFC) program organization units (POUs), move an SFC main program, to a different position in the tree structure. When moving an SFC POU with children, children follow their parent. Also move a child SFC POU to a different main SFC POU or to a different hierarchy level. You can only drag child SFC POUs to hierarchical levels already containing an SFC child.
