The invocation view settings dialog is accessed by bringing the invocation tree view to front and choosing Edit->View settings from JProfiler's main menu or clicking on the corresponding  toolbar entry. The context menu also gives access to the view settings dialog.

• The invocation description options control the amount of information that is presented in the description of the method call.
  • Show time
    Show the total time that was spent in the method call.
  • Show inherent time
    Show the inherent time (excluding calls to unfiltered methods) that was spent in the method call.
  • Show invocation count
    Show how many time the method was called in this particular call sequence.
  • Always show fully qualified names
    If this option is not checked, class name are omitted in intra-class method calls which enhances the conciseness of the display.
  • Always show signature
    If this option is not checked, method signatures are shown only if two methods with the same name appear on the same level.

• The time scale options determine the unit of time measurement, which may be milliseconds (ms) or microseconds (µs)

• The threshold below which method invocations are ignored is entered in microseconds (µs). Method calls which are below this threshold are not shown in the invocation tree except for the case where they are part of a call sequence which leads to a method call with a cumulated duration above the given threshold. Those method calls are indicated by a  downward arrow.

• The percentage base determines against what time span percentages are calculated.
  • Absolute
    Percentage values show the contribution to the total time.
  • Relative
    Percentage values show the contribution to the calling method.
