Interface

The SemanticWorks application interface consists of: (i) a top part consisting of a Menu Bar and Toolbars; (ii) the windows area; and (iii) a bottom part consisting of the Status Bar. See screenshot below. The windows areas consist of three windows:

The Menu Bar contains the various menus, and each menu, with its menu items, are described in separate sections in the User Reference. The toolbars are located below the Menu Bar, and all toolbar icons are described in the Toolbar Icons section in the User Reference.

The Main Window, Details Window, Overview Window, and Errors Window are described in more detail in the subsections of this section. The Details Window, Overview Window and Errors Window can be docked within the application window or can float freely. For details about how to change the position of the Details Window, Overview Window and Errors Window, see under the next heading.

Note: Multiple documents can be open at a time, and any one can be made the active document by clicking its tab label at the bottom of the Main Window. Text can be copied between the Text Views of documents, but objects in RDF/OWL Views cannot be copied.

Moving, positioning, and hiding the Details Window, Overview Window and Errors Window

The Details Window, Overview Window and Errors Window can each be docked within the application window or they can each float freely as independent windows.

To make the Details Window, Overview Window or Errors Window float, do one of the following:

•	Click the down-pointing arrowhead at the right-hand side of the window's title bar and select Floating.

To reposition the Details Window, Overview Window or Errors Window relative to the Main Window or other windows (that is, to dock it), do the following:

•

Drag the window's title bar into the application window till two sets of four blue arrows appear (an inner set and an outer set). Drop the window on one of the four inner arrows or one of the four outer arrows. If you drop it on an inner arrow, the window will dock within the application window and relative to the window over which it was dragged. If you drop it on an outer arrow, the window will be placed along one of the four inside edges of the application window.

When the Details Window, Overview Window, or Errors Window is docked, clicking on the down-pointing arrowhead (see screenshot above) also provides the option of hiding the window (menu option Hide). Clicking the Close button (at right-hand side of the Details Window, Overview Window, or Errors Window title bar), closes the window. To reopen the Details Window, Overview Window, or Errors Window, select View | Detail View, View | Overview or View | Errors Window, respectively.
