Desktop and View Navigator Overview

Use the Desktop & View Navigator as a tool to give organization and ease of navigation to Commence 4.0, or above, databases. There are three windows on the main screen of the Desktop & View Navigator.

bulletGroups window - A collection of "big picture" groups used to divide your database.
bulletDesktops window - A collection of desktops for a single group.
bulletViews window - A collection of views for a single group.


Organize your database into groups. Use the Desktop & View Navigator to display icons representing these groups. Select and associate desktops and views to be available for easy access when their parent group is selected. Launch the Desktop & View Navigator from the Commence toolbar with an agent. Select a group, then a desktop or view. The Desktop & View Navigator will minimize and the selected desktop or view will appear.
