Using the Navigation Taskbar

The Navigation Taskbar area provides quick access to all active query output windows (and the query design responsible for generating that output). You can return to the last query you were editing in the Query Design pane by selecting the taskbar’s Design View button. The Navigation Taskbar, as shown in the following image, is always visible in InfoAssist and is located near the bottom of the application window, just above the Status Bar.

Each of the active output windows displays a tab on the Navigation Taskbar. Selecting the tab displays that output window in the Results Panel. If you save a query with a unique name each time you modify it, when the query is executed and a new output window is generated, the unique name appears as a tab on the taskbar. If you continue to modify and execute a query without saving to a unique name, a number is appended (in parenthesis) to the original saved query name in the tab on the Navigation Taskbar to differentiate between the multiple output windows.

Note: The ability to select query output from the Navigation Taskbar depends on the output window option selected from the Status Bar or from the Output Window menu of the View tab. For more information, see Using the Status Bar or Understanding the Query Output Window.

Each query tab on the taskbar has a right-click menu with options for Restore, Minimize, Maximize, Close, Load View, and Auto Resize, as shown in the following image.

Restore, Minimize, Maximize, and Close are standard options available in any browser window or software application. The underlying query design for each output window can be loaded to the Query Design pane by right-clicking any active output window tab on the taskbar and selecting Load View. The Auto Resize option enables an output window to resize as needed when fields are added or removed.

The Query View Tools pop-up menu at the far left of the Navigation Taskbar provides options for displaying all active output windows in the Results Panel. The display options you can select are Cascade, Tile Horizontally, Tile Vertically, Minimize All, and Close All. The name of each active output window is also displayed at the bottom of the pop-up menu, as shown in the following image.

Note that the Query View Tools pop-up menu options are directly linked to the options available in the Output Window menu of the View tab.
