The viflow main window with the graphic view
After opening a viflow process model, a process graphic is always opened in a main window, this is usually the graphic last edited. The standard view also shows the viflow template, which you can use to model the process graphics.
Further information on using the template and modeling on the drawing sheet can be found in the ››› Modeling in viflow chapter.
If the Empty process model template was selected when opening a new viflow process model, no process graphic is opened because there is no process in the process model yet. In this case, a new process must first be created, the process graphic of which is then opened directly for editing.
Any number of main windows with graphics can be opened. The navigation between the windows takes place via individual tabs, which are labeled with the process names.
Alternatively, on the View tab, in the Main Window group, click Switch Window and select the window to display.
Only for viflow (subscription): Unsaved changes in a graph are denoted by a [*] symbol. In this way, you can quickly see which graphics still need to be saved, even when several tabs are open.
After saving the changes (e.g. CTRL+S) the symbols are removed.
The explorer , which lists all the contents of an object or property, can also be displayed in a main window.
Close one or more main windows
To close a main window, click on the [X] behind the process name in the register. For inactive tabs, the [X] appears when you hover over them.
Alternatively, open the context menu by right-clicking on the tab and selecting the Close entry.
There you will also find the functions Close all main windows and Close all but this, with which only the currently active main window remains open.
You can also close all windows by clicking on Close in the Main window group on the View tab.
