Nx Witness User Manual

The display on initial System launch is an empty Viewing Grid with tab name “New Layout*”. An asterisk next to a layout name, both on tabs in the Navigation Panel and layout names in the Resource Panel, indicates that the layout has unsaved changes. If you do not enter a custom name, the new tab name automatically increments by 1 (“New Layout 2”) until the User session ends.

A blank tab will always display when all layouts are closed. If too many tabs are open to display at once you can use the "<" and ">" arrows in the Navigation Panel to scroll left and right through the hidden tabs.

To Open a New Tab

•Right-click on any tab in the Navigation Panel and select New Tab (Ctrl+T) from the context menu.

•Go to Main Menu > New > Tab.

•Click on the + icon to the right of the last tab in the Navigation Panel.

To Close a Tab

•Click on the X icon next to the tab name.

•Right-click on a tab to open the context menu and select Close (Ctrl+W).

To Close All but the Active Tab

•To close all tabs but the active one, open the tab’s context menu and select Close All But This.

To Reposition a Tab

•Click-and-drag a tab name in the Navigation Panel to change its position.

When a User logs into Nx Witness, all saved layouts to which they have access are listed in the Resource Panel.

To Open an Existing Layout

•Drag-and-drop the layout from Layouts in the Resource Panel onto the Viewing Grid.

•Right-click on the layout in the Resource Panel and choose Open Layout (or press Enter) from the context menu.

•Right-click on an existing layout in the Navigation Panel and select Open Layout from the context menu to open a list of all layouts available to the current session.

•Click on the ˅ icon to the right of the last tab in the Navigation Panel to open a list of all layouts available to the current session.

If you select a layout that is currently open, focus will shift to that tab. If you select a layout that is not currently open, it will open in a new tab. You can use the first two steps to select and open multiple layouts. Each layout will open in a separate tab. (If a layout is already open it will not be reopened in a second tab.)

Note: After Nx Witness is closed, all saved layouts that are open will be restored when the User logs back in.
