Ribbon Bar

Top  Previous  Next

The application uses a Ribbon Bar menu interface, similar in style to Microsoft Office 2007 applications.  It is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task.  Commands are organised into logical groups, which are collected together under tabs.  Each tab relates to a type of activity.

 

Application Menu

 

The Application Menu provides access to those functions that might previously have expected to find on a File menu, for example opening a demonstration route or printing a route summary.

 

Quick Access Toolbar

 

The Quick Access Toolbar is designed to hold those buttons or controls that are most commonly used and which are often used when the main ribbon is minimized.

 

Home

 

The Home tab provides access to functionality controlling the appearance of the application, positioning and zooming the map display, the visibility of map information overlays for example, Loadline or Seca zones and dockable windows.

 

Ribbon-Home

 

Scan Route

 

The Scan Route tab allows you to control how and when routes are scanned and which map overlays are included in the route scan.

 

Ribbon-Scan Route

 

Map Display

 

Finally, the Map Display tab provides access to controls to customise the appearance of displayed world map, for example to control colours.
