In an Apama Studio perspective, the Outline view displays the event types and monitors in the currently open .mon or.bdf file, showing event parameters and actions and monitor fields, actions, and listeners within actions. When you click an entry in the Outline view, the focus in the editor view jumps to the code that defines the item you clicked.

Apama Studio updates the Outline view each time it saves your EPL file. If you add a resource to your EPL file but you do not save your file, the new resource does not appear in the Outline view until you save your file.
