Structure View

When working with large Concord files that contain multiple flows, forms, and triggers, it can be difficult to find what you are looking for by scrolling alone.

The Structure View provides a tree-based outline of your file, allowing you to instantly visualize the structure and navigate to specific definitions.

Overview​

The Structure View displays a hierarchical tree of:

  • Flows
  • Forms
  • Triggers
  • Public Flows
  • Configuration settings

It updates in real-time as you edit the file.

How to Use​

Opening the Tool Window​

  1. Open any .concord.yaml file.
  2. Open the Structure tool window:
    • Menu: View | Tool Windows | Structure
    • Shortcut: Alt7

Using the Popup​

For even faster navigation, you can use the Structure popup without leaving the editor:

  • Press CtrlF12.
  • Type part of a flow name to filter the list.
  • Press Enter to jump to the selected element.

Features​

  • Filter & Sort: You can sort elements alphabetically or by occurrence.
  • Autoscroll: Enabling "Autoscroll from Source" will automatically highlight the current flow in the tree as you move your cursor in the editor.
  • Icons: Distinct icons for flows, forms, and triggers help you recognize element types at a glance.

Example​

Given the following file:

flows:
  main:
    - log: "Starting..."

  deploy:
    - call: setupEnvironment

triggers:
  - github:
      entryPoint: main

forms:
  userLogin:
    - name: username

The Structure View provides a clear, hierarchical overview of all elements in your file:

tip

This feature is especially useful for monorepo setups where a single file might define dozens of flows for different lifecycle stages (build, test, deploy).
