View Tab

The View tab contains commands related to configuring the layout of the application's interface.

Refresh

  Refresh refreshes the display in the Project window. If multiple users are accessing the same project simultaneously, this command will refresh your screen with any changes made by other users. When you make a change to the project, your window will be refreshed automatically.

Project Manager

  Show Project Manager brings the Project Manager into focus. If the Project Manager is unpinned and hidden, choosing this command will display it.

  Tile Project Manager tiles the project list and current project explorer so they are both displayed simultaneously in the Project Manager panel.

  Dock Project Manager opens a submenu that allows you to choose the desired position for the Project Manager: Dock Left, Dock Right, Dock Top, Dock Bottom or Floating.

My Portal

  Show My Portal opens the My Portal window, which provides information relevant to your work within the database, such as messages from other users, recommended actions for a particular project item, status of other users logged in to the database and other information.  

  Tile My Portal tiles the Messages, Actions, Users, and Reliability Web Notes pages so they are all displayed simultaneously within the My Portal panel.

  Dock My Portal opens a submenu that allows you to choose the desired position for the Portal: Dock Left, Dock Right, Dock Top, Dock Bottom or Floating.

Workspace Layout

  Change Orientation toggles between the two possible orientations for the System Hierarchy panel and the Properties panel. These panels can be side-by-side or one on top of the other.

  Hide System Hierarchy hides the System Hierarchy panel in the Project window. When you want to show the panel again, choose View > Workspace Layout > Split Panels.

  Hide Properties hides the Properties panel in the Project window. When you want to show the panel again, choose View > Workspace Layout > Split Panels.

  Split Panels splits the Project window into two equal panels, with 50% of the available space used for the System Hierarchy panel and 50% of the available space used for the Properties panel.

  Properties View

1. • Tree View organizes the properties depending on whether they are physical properties (e.g., part quality level, case type, etc.) or application properties (e.g., ambient temperature, applied voltage, etc.). Depending on the prediction standard and component you are working with, the properties may also be organized according to failure mechanisms or type of data.

   • Pi Factor View organizes the item properties based on the pi factors that they contribute to so you can see how the values affect the failure rate calculations. The relevant pi factors will vary depending on the item's failure rate model. (See Tree View vs. Pi Factor View.)

Expand/Collapse

  Expand Tree expands the hierarchy to show all the items in the System Hierarchy panel or all the records in the Properties panel.

  Collapse Tree collapses the hierarchy to hide all the items in the System Hierarchy panel, except standard items (i.e., , , , , or ), or collapse all the records in the Properties panel to their headings.  

  Expand Node expands the hierarchy to show all items under a selected block/standard item or all the records under a selected Properties heading.

  Collapse Node collapses the hierarchy to hide all items under a selected block/standard item or hide all records under a selected Properties heading.

  Collapse to Level collapses the hierarchy to the level of the item that is currently selected.

Zoom

  Normal Zoom sets the degree of magnification to 100%.

  Zoom In increases the degree of magnification.

  Zoom Out decreases the degree of magnification.

  Custom Zoom allows you to specify the degree of magnification.

Window

  Use Tabbed MDI maximizes the windows to fill the full space available in the MDI and shows a tab for each open window. If you clear this command, the open windows will be displayed as separate windows that can be resized and moved around within the MDI.

  Window

• Cascade cascades all open project windows inside the MDI. This command is available only when you are not using a tabbed MDI view.

• Tile Horizontally horizontally tiles all open project windows inside the MDI. This command is available only when you are not using a tabbed MDI view.

• Tile Vertically vertically tiles all open project windows inside the MDI. This command is available only when you are not using a tabbed MDI view.

• Arrange Icons bottom aligns all icons of the minimized windows inside the MDI. This command is available only when you are not using a tabbed MDI view.

• The Windows drop-down list displays a list of all project windows currently open inside the MDI. You can make any of the open project windows active by clicking its name in this Ribbon.

• Close All Windows closes all open project windows inside the MDI, leaving only the Project Manager and My Portal panels open (if they were selected to be shown).
