The BioBrowser menu and toolbar

Menu commands

The BioBrowser menu bar contains a set of standard menus available in most Microsoft Office applications, as well as some application specific commands.  Some of the same functions may be available as Toolbar buttons or through keyboard equivalents.

Pop-up menus:  Some commands are only available from pop-up menus or by double-clicking on the chart area over the display bands of the desired state.  Use the right mouse button click to access the pop-up menus. These menus will differ depending on whether or not the state is a simple state or a linked actor. For simple states such as “employed” below, the following commands are available:

For the filter tracking band and linked actors, access is also provided to the navigation band commands, as shown below:

The toolbar

The toolbar provides quick access to the most frequently used menu items and commands in the BioBrowser application. Each button is described by a Tool-Tip or status bar description. If you have a small screen at low resolution you may choose not to display the Toolbar. Choose Tools/Options and Click on the View Toolbar Option.
