Could anybody explain the difference between the Path Coefficients in the Index Values(results) and the PLS (Calculation results) parts of the standard report?

hmmm. the link seems to point to an overview page with a lot of topics? I have searched as well, but found no result (might be looking at the wrong thing)
I know what the path coefficients are, and I know that they can be standardiced weights or unstandardized (regression) weights, but working with a dataset in saandardized or unstandardized format makes no difference to the pathcoefficients, so I assume that the path coefficients in the PLS calculation results part of the repport are standardized.
Is this correct??
The path coefficients in the Index values part of the repport are different though, are these the unstandardized version ???

Do not pay any attention to the index value results!
They are only used for an additional analysis in the quoted article (see topic link).

Aha, super. Thank you very much :-). Now things are getting a bit clearer. I know some of these Index calculations, and how they are used. I'm quite familiar with the use of index for LVs, but I've never seen the index values for the path coeficients, which is probably why I was a bit confused. Is there a specific interpretation for the Index Value path coefficient?
