|---|---|
| Close All Non-essential Windows |
Closes all workspace windows except the startup window - e.g.
all diagram, report, book, query, media, map or web search
windows. By default, the Focus Window is the startup
window. Also by default, the Records Window always has an
icon in the Navigation Bar, even if closed. However, this
is configurable in Preferences. |
| Lock Window (prevent re-use) |
Depending on the settings in the Workspaces tab in Preferences, some windows can be re-used. For example, if you allow the Diagram Window to be re-used and if you are currently viewing a diagram in a Diagram Window, and you choose an option to open another diagram, Family Historian may re-use the existing Diagram Window to show the diagram. If you wish to make quite sure that a Diagram Window will not be re-used in this way, tick Lock Window. Locking a window only prevents the window being re-used. It does not prevent it being edited or closed, or anything else. This option applies not just to the Diagram Window, but to all workspace windows where re-use is permitted. There is no limit to the number of all such windows that you can have open at any one time. All of these windows can normally be re-used unless you click
on Lock Window to prevent re-use. However, if you have
specified in the Workspaces Pane of Preferences that any of
these windows should never be re-used, locking them will have no
effect. Please note incidentally that a Diagram Window can only be re-used to display a diagram, a Reports Window can only be re-used to display a report, and so on. If you choose a report (say) and there is no available Reports Window which can be re-used, a new Reports Window will be opened. The Focus Window and Records Window can never be re-used so this option is not available for those windows. Also, the Diagram Window cannot be re-used if it is displaying a diagram that has been saved - in which case, again, the Lock Window option will not be available. |
| Cascade | Organise all workspace windows into a tidy overlapping arrangement. |
| Tile Horizontally | Organise all workspace windows into a horizontally tiled arrangement. |
| Tile Vertically |
Organise all workspace windows into a vertically tiled arrangement. |
| Arrange Icons | Rarely used. If you have minimized workspace windows within the frame of the main application window, each workspace window will have an icon to represent it - usually displayed in the bottom left corner of the main application window. This command will arrange these icons tidily. |
| Log Files | Opens the Log File Dialog to display all log files in the current project (if any). The Log File Dialog is only available in the context of a project. |
| <Window List> |
List of currently open workspace windows. Click on any of these windows to activate it (bring it to the front). |
