View Window Area

The View Window Area is the main way to view the ProSafe NMS map and command results. This area uses the Multi-Document-Interface (MDI) specification to display multiple windows at the same time.

Use the Window/Cascade and Windows/Tile menus to rearrange the windows in the View Window area in a way that makes them all visible.

Windows in this area can be in one of several states:

•A maximized window uses the entire area and hides any other windows behind it. If you close a maximized window, the next top-most window will still be displayed in the maximized state. You need to be careful when using maximized windows because it is easy to lose track of how many windows you have opened and there is an upper limit. Use the Windows menu to see a list of windows. Use the Windows/Cascade menu to view all windows at the same time.

•An overlapped window does not take up the entire area. One window will be completely visible and other windows are partially hidden behind it. This is the most common situation for the View Window area because it lets you view maps, tables and graphs at the same time and quickly move between them.

•A minimized window is displayed as a small title bar with window Open and Close buttons. Windows are not typically minimized within the View Window area because, as with the maximized case, they can easily be lost behind other windows.
