The \emph{Name} column contains name of the function in which the sampling was done. If the \emph{\faSitemap{}~Inlines} option is enabled, functions which were inlined will be preceded with a '\faCaretRight{}' symbol and additionally display their parent function name in parenthesis. Otherwise, only non-inlined functions are listed, with count of inlined functions in parenthesis. Any entry containing inlined function may be expanded to display the corresponding functions list (some functions may be hidden if the \emph{\faPuzzlePiece{}~Show all} option is disabled, due to lack of sampling data). Clicking on a function name will open the call stack sample parents window (see chapter~\ref{sampleparents}). Note that if inclusive times are displayed, listed functions will be partially or completely coming from mid-stack frames, which will prevent, or limit the capability to display parent call stacks.
The \emph{Location} column displays the corresponding source file name and line number. Depending on the \emph{Location} option selection it can either show function entry address, or the instruction at which the sampling was performed. The \emph{Entry} mode points at the beginning of a non-inlined function, or at the place where inlined function was inserted in its parent function. The \emph{Sample} mode is not useful for non-inlined functions, as it points to one randomly selected sampling point out of many that were captured. However, in case of inlined functions, this random sampling point is within the inlined function body. Using these options in tandem enable you to look at both the inlined function code and the place where it was inserted. If the \emph{Smart} location is selected, profiler will display entry point position for non-inlined functions and sample location for inlined functions.

The location data is complemented by the originating executable image name, contained in the \emph{Image} column.
