Navigation Views

In the Enterprise Manager, the Navigation Views (e.g., Workflow Designer, Daily Maintenance, Daily List, Matrix Chart, Gantt Chart, PERT View, Bar Chart, Pie Chart, Workload Chart, Machine Status) support the editors by providing a visual representations for the editor information. Any number of views can be opened at the same time, but only one can be active at any one time.

Unlike Editors, Views can be dragged out of the workspace to another separate area on their own.

Opening Navigation Views​

To perform the procedure:

  1. Click on the arrow to expand a Navigation topic in the Navigation Panel to the left of the screen.
  2. Double-click on the Navigation View(e.g., Workflow Designer).
  3. (Optional) Click on and drag the Navigation View tab onto the tab bar if not already attached.
  4. Repeat Step 2 to open more views.

Changing Navigation View Tab Order​

Click on and drag then release the specific Navigation View tab that needs to be moved to the new location on the tab bar.

note

A stack symbol (Three white folders with black borders stacked) will appear as you drag the view over other view tabs.

Arranging Navigation Views​

To perform the procedure:

  1. Click on and drag the specific Navigation View tab in the direction where you want the editor to display (e.g., drag the tab to the left, right, top, or bottom of screen).
  2. Release the Navigation View tab once the stack symbol has changed to the arrow symbol. The Navigation View will drop into place.

Moving Navigation Views of the Workspace Frame​

To perform the procedure:

  1. Click on and drag the specific Navigation View tab outside of the Enterprise Manager workspace area (e.g., if you have a dual monitor workspace, the Navigation View can be dragged to the second monitor).
  2. Release the Navigation View tab in the preferred location outside of the workspace area.

Alternatively, you can right-click on the Navigation View tab and select Detached. Then drag the detached view to the preferred location outside of the workspace area.

Returning Navigation Views to the Workspace Frame​

Click on and drag then release the Navigation View tab back to the preferred location inside the workspace area. Alternatively, you can right-click on the Navigation View tab and select Detached. This will un-detach the view and return it to the Enterprise Manager workspace.
