2.1.1 Working Environment & Graphical User Interface
1 Introduction
After launching Process Designer, the main window opens. The following figure shows an example of typical graphical user interface of Process
2 Process Designer Designer. The numbered items are labeled as follows:
2.1 Introduction to Process 1. Menu Bar and Toolbars
Designer
2. Navigation Tree
2.1.1 Working Environment & 3. Operation Tree
Graphical User Interface 4. Relations Viewer
2.1.2 Menu Bar and Toolbars 5. Graphic Viewer
6. Product Tree
2.1.3 Tree Structure
7. Resource Tree
2.1.4 Graphic viewer
The name of the tree or viewer is displayed on the top left of the window. Similar to windows explorer, you can change the size of each tree/viewer
2.1.4.1 Displaying Objects and dock or float each tree/viewer. To close the tree/viewer, click on the x-button on the top right of the window.

Figure: Viewers Option

The structure and arrangement of the individual tree or viewer window in Process Designer can differ depending on the user's preferences. The
structure of the trees and the application can be grouped and freely arranged according to personal preferences.

To dock a tree or viewer to another position:

1. Click on the title area of a tree

2. While pressing the left mouse button, drag the tree to another position
3. A four-way arrow indicator appears in the center of the docked viewer you are dragging across
4. Drag the floating viewer to one of the arrows of the four-way arrow indicator
5. It will dock the viewer along the edge of the viewer you are dragging across

To dock a tree or viewer to a tab group

1. Click on the title area of a tree.
2. While pressing the left mouse button, drag the tree to another viewer
3. A four-way arrow indicator appears in the center of the docked viewer you are dragging across
4. Drag the floating viewer to the icon in the center of the four-way arrow indicator
5. It will dock the viewer as a tab within a tab group that also contain the other viewer

Alternatively, you can arrange the trees and viewers using predefined Layout by selecting View > Layout Manager from the menu bar. The
Layout 3D Planning offers a good basic structure to work with Process Designer. You can also save your configuration with the Layout Manager
