| <h3>Saving |
| perspectives</h3> |
| <P CLASS="Para">This tutorial has demonstrated how to add new views to the perspective, |
| rearrange the views and convert views into fast views. The Workbench also allows |
| this layout to be saved for future use.</P> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">In the shortcut bar click on the Resource perspective. The |
| Resource perspective is now active.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Drag the Outline view and stack it with one of the navigation |
| views.</p></li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > Save Perspective As...</b></p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">The Save Perspective As dialog allows for an existing perspective |
| to be redefined or for a new perspective to be created.</p> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Click <b>OK</b> to update the Resource perspective and <b>Yes</b> |
| to the subsequent confirmation dialog. The new perspective layout will be |
| used if the perspective is reset or if a new one is opened.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p CLASS="Para"><img src="../images/Image71_pers_save.png" alt="Saving Perspective" border="0" ></p> |
| </blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para">In the Resource perspective move the Outline view so that |
| it is now stacked with the Tasks view.</P> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > Reset Perspective</b>. Notice the Outline |
| view is stacked with the navigation view. Originally when the Workbench |
| was first started it was below the navigation view, but because the perspective |
| was saved with the navigation view and Outline stacked, it now considers |
| this its initial layout. </p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > New Window</b> to open a second window |
| showing the resource perspective. Observe that it uses the newly saved layout. </P> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Close the second window.</P> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p CLASS="Para">While the Resource perspective has been changed, there is a way |
| to get back the original layout. To reset the Resource perspective to its original |
| layout:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Choose <b>Window > Preferences</b>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Expand <b>General</b> and select <b>Perspectives</b>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Select <b>Resource (default) > Make Default</b> and then |
| click <b>OK</b>.</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <p CLASS="Para"><img src="../images/Image71_pers_reset.png" alt="Reset Perspective" border="0"></p></blockquote> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p CLASS="Para">Any changes to the saved state of the perspective has now |
| been undone. To update the current copy of the Resource perspective that |
| is being worked with, also choose <b>Window > Reset Perspective</b> from |
| the Workbench's menu bar. </p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
