Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I know there is a view to only see the parent workflows, but I'd like an easy way of seeing what children connect to a parent.

Describe the solution you'd like

In the workflows view (where I see all workflows) I'd like to collapse all workflows to the parent, to get a cleaner view without being overwhelmed with all workflows. Connected to this I think children should be grouped with their parents.

For example in Trace explorer in GCP I can press "Collapse all" which will collapse the full trace to the parent:

Research direction

Start in the workflows view and trace how parent and child workflows are currently displayed and related. Define the interaction for collapsing all workflows to parents and grouping each child's entries beneath its parent; done means the view is cleaner while users can expand a parent to see its children.
