The vertical list on the left of the screen allows for quick navigation up and down the class branches and to easily move from one branch to another. Every clickable item in the list opens up a sub-list (a lower level branch). Each list item represents a class or a subclass until the lowest level item, representing the entity is reached at the end of a branch (called the leaf node).
