Using the Eplorer PRISMAproduction Explorer
60 A29247-X3-X-6-7670
The left section of the window shows the Explorer tree: the structure of the system.
The right section shows the active application. The applications that have been launched
are each presented by a tab. The tab belonging to the active application is shown in a dif-
ferent colour. You activate an application by clicking its tab.
5.2.1 Explorer Tree
Nodes
Clicking a node opens it or closes it again. When a node opens, you are shown the sub-
structure it contains; the substructure is closed again when you close the node.
Launching an application from the Explorer tree
Right-click the name of an application in the Explorer tree to show a shortcut menu of func-
tions for opening the application, e.g. open in a separate window.
Choose the function you want to use. The application is then opened and made active, i.e.
its interface is shown on the Explorer application workspace. Double-clicking the name of
the application in the Explorer tree has the same effect as choosing the function from the
shortcut menu.
Shortcut menus in the Explorer tree
Right-click an application in the Explorer tree to open a context-sensitive shortcut menu
(which functions are shown will depend on the current working context). The menu also
contains functions for opening and activating applications. All these functions can also be
accessed via the application menus.
5.2.2 Application area
The right section of the Explorer window shows the open applications. There is a separate
tab for each one. The tab gives the name of the application and a number if there are mul-
tiple sessions of the same application running simultaneously. The active application is
shown with its own interface, and its tab is highlighted in a different colour.
