Opening perspectives

You can open any perspective that is not currently open in the workstation window.

About this task

A perspective will stay open until you close that perspective. Each time QMF is started, all perspectives that were open at the time of the previous close will open.

Initially, the User perspective opens when the QMF application is started. If the User perspective is closed you can open it, or any perspective that has been closed, in the following way:

Procedure

  1. Click the Open Perspective toolbar button. You can also select Window > Open Perspective. A menu that lists the perspectives that you have opened in the current QMF session is displayed. Select the perspective that you want to open.
  2. To see a complete list of available perspectives, select Other from the menu. The Open Perspective window opens. Select the perspective that you want to open. Click OK.
  3. The perspective that you have selected opens. A tab is added to the title bar of the window. The tab displays the name of the perspective and its associated button. Clicking the button for the perspective allows you to quickly switch to a perspective from other perspectives in the same window.
  4. By default, a perspective will open in the same window. You can open a perspective in a new window by selecting Window > Open New Window. The active perspective opens in a new window.
