The toolbar
The toolbar contains buttons for commonly used menu items so you can have quick
access to the items without opening the menu. When you point to a button on the toolbar,
the button name is shown in a tooltip and in the status bar.
All editors use the Standard toolbar. The Graphic Displays, Graphic Libraries, Runtime
Security, and Tags editors have additional toolbars.
The Explorer window
The Explorer window has two tabs: the Application tab, and the Communications tab.
The Application tab contains the editors for creating and editing your application. It also
contains the System folder for setting up FactoryTalk Security.
The Communications tab contains the communications tree for the development
computer. For more information about using the communications tree, see Help for
RSLinx Enterprise.
For more information about the Explorer window, see page 2-8. For information about
setting up security, see Chapter 11.
The workspace
The workspace is the blank area of the FactoryTalk View Studio window. You can drag
icons from the Explorer window to the workspace to open editors and components. For
more information, see page 2-8.
The Diagnostics List
The Diagnostics List shows messages about system activities. You can specify the types
of messages to show in the Diagnostics List, move the list, resize it, and clear the
messages in it.
For information about testing graphic displays, see page 19-10.
Move the Diagnostics List
You can detach (undock) the Diagnostics List from the main window, and then move the
list anywhere on the screen.
