This browser shows a tree view of the alias database similar to the tree view of the numeric databse. Left pane of the browser shows the tree structure in each of the subsystem database. Every database has a number of runtypes, each runtype referring one of the top maps. Every top map links to the subsystem maps, every subsystem map links to the maps below it or leaf aliases. Right pane shows the contents of each individual map selected in the left pane. Exact information displayed depends on the type of the selected object, and ususally includes a link name (it can be a system name, run type, or path component), alias name of the object this link points to and other information related to the object, such as container name, user who created it, etc.
Here is an example view of the CfgExplorer with the alias tree browser open:
