The Page Monitor bar contains three main areas: the Open Pages List, the Access Panel and the Remote Action Monitor.
The Page Monitor bar can be toggled on or off by clicking the Page Monitor button in the Tool Bar directly above the bar.
The list in the top of the Page Monitor Bar contains all of the currently open work pages.
Each page has an icon to indicate what type of work page it is and the page's name or description. The user can often specify a name when the page is saved, this name will then appear in the list.
The currently active page will be highlighted in blue.
Select an item from the list to open it in the work area.
The access panel provides ready access to tools and Quote pages, as well as providing information on current data downloads.
Select the item to be displayed from the drop down list.
The Function Bar's icons will open the following tools in the Access Panel:
![]() | Drawing Tools |
![]() | Hi-Lites |
![]() | Indicators |
![]() | Favorites |
Click on the above links for more information on each type's access panel.
The Access Panel can also be populated with a list of Quote Pages, or the progress of a data download can assessed in the Remote Action Panel mode.
When tools are applied from the Access Panel, the tool applied to the current work area will be highlighted in the Access Panel.
Frequently used tools can be added to the Favorites Access Panel, this helps users locate their favorite tools quickly.
Many of the tool groups can be detached from the Access Panel, this will place the tools in a palette which can be repositioned above the work area.
