<H1>Creating fast views</H1>
<p>Fast views are hidden views that can be quickly opened and closed. They work
like other views except they do not take up space in your Workbench window.
</p>
<p>To create a fast view:</p>
<ol>
<li>Click the title bar of the view that you want. Hold the mouse button down.</li>
<li>Drag the view to the shortcut bar at the far left of the window and release the mouse button.</li>
</ol>
<p>The icon for the view that you dragged now appears on the shortcut
bar. You can look at the view by clicking its icon on the shortcut bar. As soon
as you click somewhere else outside the view, it is hidden again.
</p>
<p>To restore the view to its original location (to delete the fast
view), click on the Fast View icon <img src="../images/tasks-7.gif" alt="Fast view icon" border="0" width="16" height="16">
in the title bar of the view.
</p>
<p>You can also create and restore fast views by selecting <b>Fast
View</b> from the context menu that opens when you click the
icon at the left side of the view's title bar.
