PARCview Standard Windows and Features

Many features of PARCview windows are standard throughout the application and function similarly wherever they are found. These features appear in most PARCview displays or configuration windows.

Quick Access Toolbar

The quick access toolbar contains links to commonly used windows and functions within a display. A small version of the Tag Browser icon is shown in the Quick Access Toolbar of the PARCview Explorer.

Click the dropdown menu next to the icon(s) to minimize the Ribbon or move the Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon. On some displays, the drop-down menu will have a Select Process option, which will enable another drop-down menu to select a process.
