Limited Expand Mode
Limited Expand Mode allows for a magic sheet to be viewed fullscreen. To enter into this mode,
you can either select it from the magic sheet display tools ( Display Tools (on page352) ) or you
can use [Shift] & [Displays]. [Shift] & [Displays] is also used for exiting this mode.
While in this mode, the monitor with the magic sheet will not display a tab number, command
line, or status bar. These will all be hidden. If there were other tabs open on that monitor, they
will close when the magic sheet goes into limited expand mode. If tabs 1 or 2 are open, they will
move to a different monitor.
The monitor will display a three dot heartbeat indicator in the top right hand corner. The
indicator will move between three dots to show that your console is operating as expected.
The following indicator colors will be used for multi-console activity:
•
Yellow - system is operating as expected.
•
Red - master or backup has gone offline.
•
Green - master or backup has reconnected.
Magic sheets are not editable in this mode, but the magic sheet browser is accessible. On a
touchscreen, you can access the magic sheet browser by tapping with three fingers.
In the magic sheet display tools, there are two additional options that are available whenever
you go into limited expand mode.
