The following operations are available in the title bar of the properties view:
Pin : Prevents the view from being the target of subsequent operation requests. When a view is ‘pinned’, the pushpin image is displayed. Use for viewing pages side-by-side. A maximum of one instance of a properties page can be pinned.
Move Left: Anchors the view to upper left-hand side of the Smartbench frame. View size is not changed by this action.
Move Right: Anchors the view to the upper right-hand side of the Smartbench frame. View size is not changed by this action.
Minimize : Reduces the view to the title bar only. Use this operation to gain visibility to what’s behind the properties view.
Restore : Resizes the view to the default height and width and re-anchors the view to either the left or right-had side of the Smartbench frame.
Refresh : Re-queries the object from the database and re-paints the view to display the latest object properties. This option may be required when a properties view is currently open to an object that is updated from an entity view operation, since Properties views do not auto-refresh as a result of entity view operations.
Settings: Displays the Page Layout dialog box where the overall layout of a Properties view can be altered. See Customize Page.
Help : Displays the OnLine Expert for the Transportation Smartbench in a separate window.
Close : Closes the view.
The following operations are available in the section headers of the properties view:
Customize Layout : Form-based sections present the Form Customization dialog. List-based sections present the Grid Layout dialog box. See Customize Layout.
Export Grid : This operation is visible only when user profile Allow Export Data from Lists is enabled, and the section is presented as a grid view. It generates a .XLS format file named from the search that generated the entity view. The resulting file contains all data rows in the view for columns currently configured for display. Standard browser options allow you to open, save or cancel the results of the export operation. Smartbench will use the Windows Default Programs configuration for files with .XLS extension.
