Customising the Toolbars

To move a toolbar:

1. Click and drag the gripper bar (the four little "bullets" on the left of the toolbar) and drag the toolbar to a new position. (If the gripper bar is not visible, it can be turned on from the Toolbars page of the Customise dialog.)
• Drag the toolbar into the centre of the InfoAsset Manager window to create a floating window, which can be moved elsewhere by dragging its title bar.
• Drag the toolbar or floating toolbar to an edge of the InfoAsset Manager window to dock it at the side, top or bottom of the window.

To hide / display a toolbar:

1. Select Customise toolbars from the Tools menu. The Customise dialog is displayed.
2. On the Toolbars page, check the box to the left of the toolbar name (check the box to make the toolbar visible, uncheck the box to hide the toolbar).
3. Click OK.

If the toolbar is floating it can be hidden by clicking its Close button.

To lock the toolbars to their current positions on the InfoAsset Manager main window:

1. Ensure that the currently selected toolbars are in the required positions in the window.
2. Select Customise toolbars from the Tools menu. The Customise dialog is displayed.
3. Check Lock positions.
4. Click OK.

Note

This does not prevent the position of the toolbars from being automatically changed if the main window is resized significantly or if InfoAsset Manager is opened on a screen with a very different resolution. If this occurs, uncheck this option, re-position the toolbars and then check this option again. Alternatively, select the Reset toolbars and windows option from the Tools Menu.

Some of the less commonly used toolbars, that are applicable to certain types of view, are normally hidden. By default these toolbars are displayed / hidden as the appropriate view is opened / closed:

• GeoExplorer Toolbar - displayed with GeoExplorer Window

If the toolbar is closed via the Customise dialog when the view is opened, it will remain closed at all times.

If the toolbar is displayed when the view is not visible it will be displayed at all times.

To change the appearance of a toolbar:

1. Select Customise toolbars from the Tools menu. The Customise dialog is displayed.

• Cool look changes the appearance of the buttons.
• Show gripper displays the gripper bar (little bullet points vertically aligned) on the left hand side of the toolbar.
• Border size adjusts the size of the toolbar border (the size of the toolbar buttons does not change).
3. Click OK.

To change the contents of a toolbar:

2. Select the Commands page on the Customise dialog.

• To modify the appearance of a button that is already on the toolbar: click the button on the toolbar, click Modify Selection in the Customise dialog to display modification options.

3. Click OK when the changes are complete.

The contents of the InfoAsset Manager toolbars can be restored to their original state (before the Customise dialog was opened) by using the Reset and Reset All buttons on the Toolbars page.

To restore the contents of all InfoAsset Manager toolbars to their default settings, select the Reset Toolbar Buttons option from the Tools Menu. (The application must be restarted for the changes to take effect.)

The new toolbar can be modified in the same way as any other toolbar. In addition, the name of a user-defined toolbar can be edited and the toolbar itself can be deleted using options on the Toolbars page.
