Viewer Bar
The Viewer Bar sits below the Scenario Tab Bar and lets you switch between the viewers offered for the selected object. Click a viewer chip to show that viewer.
- Which viewers appear depends on the type of the selected object (see the table below). Until you click an object in the Objects tree, the bar shows only Summary with the hint "Click an object in the left panel tree view to see its charts".
- Dimmed chips are viewers that are configured for the object but not available for this scenario — for example the Reserve viewer needs reserve results in the scenario's results file. Dimmed chips cannot be clicked.
- Chips that do not fit in the bar are listed at the top of the Views ▾ menu at the right end of the bar.
- Chart 2: when a second chart is open, right-click a chip (or press Shift+Enter on it) to show that viewer in Chart 2. A small 2 badge marks the viewer shown in Chart 2. Table viewers (Summary, Series Summary) cannot be shown in Chart 2.
- Series Summary is not a chip; it opens from the Series Summary button in the Scenario Tab Bar.
- Historical & Database is no longer a chip; it is a sub-tab of the Summary viewer.
Viewer Order
By default the chips appear in the order shown in the table below. To change it, choose Views ▾ → Reorder viewers. Settings → Maintenance → Reset all settings puts the default order back.

Views ▾ Menu
The Views ▾ button at the right end of the Viewer Bar opens a dropdown with four groups:
My Saved Views
Saves up to 20 views. Each saved view can be renamed (✎) or deleted (✕) inline. Use Present saved views (Ctrl+Shift+P) to show the chart full screen with larger text and step through your saved views with the arrow keys.
Pinned Comparisons
Saves Comparison set-ups so you can reopen them in one click.
Share a View
- Copy current view — copies a view code for the current view. A colleague with the same run pastes it in Open view from code.
- Open view from code — opens a view from a code you received.
View codes never expire. iSnaps do expire (unlike view codes).
iSnap — View with Its Data
Share a snapshot that includes the view and its data, for colleagues who do not have the run. The group is labelled "iSnap — view with its data".
