soapUI Pro Outline Editor

The soapUI Pro Outline Editor is available for all request/response messages and shows a tree-view of the current message content. The left column of the editor shows the tree structure and the center column shows editable node values. Grayed node-values are not editable due to unavailability and/or schema restrictions. Node values in the center column are editable by selecting/editing as usual. Thr right column shows the schema-type for the corresponding node if available. This column can be hidded with the toggle button in the toolbar.

If the underlying schema definition for a specific node has documentation annotations, these will be displayed in the tooltip as shown in the screen-shot below.

The toolbar has the following actions (left to right):

  • Collapses all child nodes if possible (ALT+SHIFT+C)
  • Expands all child nodes if possible (ALT+SHIFT+E)
  • Collapses all sibling nodes if possible (ALT+CTRL+C)
  • Expands all sibling nodes if possible (ALT+CTRL+E)
  • Moves down to the next sibling node, skipping any child nodes (ALT+DOWN)
  • Moves up one sibling, skipping any intermediate child nodes (ALT+UP)
  • Moves to the current nodes parent node (ALT+LEFT)
  • Moves to and expands the current nodes first child node if available (ALT+RIGHT)
  • Toggle Type-Column
  • Help - displays this page

The following additional keyboard commands are available when the Outline-Table has focus:

  • DOWN - moves down one row and expands new row if possible
  • UP - moves up one row
  • ALT+C - collapses current node if possible (ie hides all child nodes)
  • ALT+E - expands current node if possible (ie shows all child nodes)

A number of right-button actions are available for creation of XPath assertions and Property-Transfers/Expansion when editing Mock Response and Test Request steps.
