ZOOMING TO A TIME UNIT
The Event Picker provides a pop-up menu that allows you to zoom to a time unit. Right-click the Event Picker’s bottom row to open the pop-up
menu. Table D describes the options provided on the pop-up menu.
The options have a different effect depending on whether an event is already selected or not. If no event is currently selected, the zoom options
zoom to the current date/time. If an event is currently selected, the zoom options zoom to the time unit of the selected event.
