Any reason to have two levels of title here? And there is only one child section.

I wasn't sure though, probably just in case we have other ways other than identify tools to explore mesh dataset in the future? @DelazJ

Probably... But I don't see what other ways we have today so would rather stick to a single level that we could adjust when the features are made available.

You get info on the groups you made active and nothing prevents you from only enabling the vector one and deactivating the scalar

I think this block belongs to the "Dataset values|groups" item. The "geometry information" and some of the returned properties are available in all cases, regardless of temporal controller, and it looks unclear to me how these outputs relate to each other.
As far as I understand the results, you get either:
- TC is off: only the selected dataset groups with the value configured for their static state. Source is displayed for each. And x/y component for the vector dataset group.
- TC is on: all available groups with their value "corresponding" to the current time. Source is displayed for each. And x/y component for the vector dataset group. And an additional field showing the actual time step value.
- in both cases, Geometry information

Let's add a link to guide people to what we are talking about (I couldn't find a closer anchor)

Sorry @hefniraera I do not understand your latest changes. Geometry information is mentioned twice, and nothing indicates that inactive dataset groups are shown only in TC on context. |
Sorry about that, I guess I wasn’t focused enough. Let me fix that. |
