Finding and Opening a View

To find and open a view in PROLIN Smart Client, use the navigator. The navigator is an action window typically located on the left-hand side of the console. It organizes views into groups of items, displayed in a tree structure, with each item’s views as branches.

You can use either mouse or keyboard navigation, and a quick filter helps manage large numbers of views.

Using the Mouse

To navigate and open a view:

  1. Open the navigator (usually already visible on the left side of the console).
  2. At the top of the navigator, select an item group you are authorized for.

Selecting Item Group
  1. Expand the item branch in the tree.
  2. Select the view you want to open.

Selecting a View
  1. The selected view opens in the view window.

Alternative Method via All Views Dialog

  1. Click All Views in the Manage group of the View tab.
  2. In the All Views dialog, select an item type from the list on the right.
  3. Choose a view from the Views list and click Apply View.
  4. Close the dialog when done.

Using the Keyboard

If you know the name of the view, you can quickly locate it in the navigator:

  • The navigator tree is organized by processes → items → views.
  • Use arrow keys or start typing the view name to locate a match.
  • Collapse and expand branches with the plus (+) or minus (–) signs.
  • For more navigation techniques, refer to: Navigating Trees.

💡 The quick filter in the navigator helps narrow down results as you type.
