# Flat vs Tree View

By default, the resources and events will be listed in a flat view ie., without a parent/child association. By enabling **Tree View**, gopaddle renders the resources in a hierarchical format.

**Eg. Flat view for Deployments**

**Performance Considerations**

Tree View is a resource intensive operation and thus can be slow. However, tree view is helpful in situations where the users need additional context during troubleshooting. Check [Enhancing contents of runbooks](/overview/runbook-hub/enhancing-contents-of-runbooks-with-ai.md) and [AI Chat](/overview/ai-assistant/chat-with-ai.md) sections for more information on tree view helps.

In case of Lite or Enterprise edition, it is possible to fine tune the filter performance for a kubernetes cluster. Check the [Improving performance of resource discovery](/overview/improving-performance-of-resource-discovery.md) section for improving the performance.
