The Expanded Path Summary provides a summary of all parallel paths for the selected path. The Path Profile chart displays the percentage of time taken by cells and nets for the selected path. If no parallel path is selected in this view, the Path Profile shows the percentage for all paths. By default, SmartTime only shows one path for each Expanded Path. You can change this default in the SmartTime Options dialog box.

The Expanded Path View also includes a schematic of the path and a path profile chart for the paths selected in the Expanded Path Summary.
