All MagicTree tree nodes have a status. Node status can be used to flag data that needs further attention, data that should be ignored and so on. The following statuses are currently defined:
None
New
To do
Interesting
Ignore
By default nodes have status set to "None". When XML data is merged into the tree, newly created nodes are assigned the status "New".
The status of a node is indicated by its display color. Nodes that have descendants with non-default statuses show the number of ancestor nodes with non-default status:
"testdata" node has 88 descendants with "New" status, 1 descendant with "To do" status and 4 descendants with "Interesting" status
Node status can be assigned manually. Right-click a node, select "Set object status" from the context menu and select the status you want to assign.
It is also possible to set or reset status for a whole subtree. Select a node, right-click on it to invoke the context menu, select "Set object status (recursive)" and select the status you want to set.
