P2 Explorer\u00a04.3.1 continues to evolve the user interface to introduce a striking new navigation system which makes use of the now-familiar ribbon paradigm.<\/p>\n
Trend functionality has been consolidated with the introduction of a dedicated tag selector, and more page objects have been added to Studio.<\/p>\n
Explorer 4.3.1 can also handle duplicate entity names in a hierarchy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
Release 4.3.1 of P2 Explorer introduces the now-ubiquitous ribbon navigation system, resulting in a cleaner, more usable interface.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Collapsing the Ribbon<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019ll notice a little arrow in the lower right corner of the ribbon. This allows users to collapse the ribbon so that only the tabs are visible. To expand the ribbon, you simply click one of the tabs.<\/p>\n Customisation<\/strong><\/p>\n The ribbon can also be customised, enabling advanced users to add their own tabs and buttons.<\/p>\n Note that the default tabs (Home, View, Page, Trend) cannot be customised.<\/p>\n In previous versions of P2 Explorer Studio<\/a>, when you added a component, you would have to type in the name of a source dataset or an event<\/a>. This version of Explorer adds the ability to choose datasets and events, that have already been added to the canvas, from a drop-down list.\u00a0This means you no longer have to type in potentially long names and can more easily avoid typos, eliminating the potential for trivial errors.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Switch Layout<\/a> is a powerful component that can change the components that are displayed on a page depending on what the user selects on that page. It\u2019s typically used in conjunction with a grid layout<\/a>.\u00a0To configure the Switch, you need to specify an event and conditions for when the displayed component will change to a different component.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Multi Select List<\/span> is a new component that allows a user to select multiple items from a defined list. If there are more list items than will fit on the page, the Multi Select List displays a scrollbar that provides \u201cinfinite scrolling\u201d, and also allows users to filter the list options.<\/p>\n Configuring a Multi Select List is very similar to configuring a Combo Box<\/a> or Option Links<\/a>.<\/p>\n The advent of the toolbar means that you can now open a blank trend outside of a workspace. To do this, simply click \u2018New Trend<\/strong>\u2019 on the Home tab.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Explorer 4.3.1 harnesses the power of P2 Server\u2019s comments functionality to bring you threaded comments within the trend.\u00a0When comments have been added to a trend, a black comments To add a new comment, you simply click the spot on the trend for when you want to add a comment. In the hairline box, click the Add Comment<\/strong> You can now add time series tags to the trend. To do this, click the View<\/strong> tab, then click the Tags \u00a0<\/p>\n P2 Explorer now allows users to link directly to a page<\/a> or trend<\/a> from a URL. The easiest way to do this is by clicking the \u2018Share Link<\/strong>\u2019 button on the Page or Trend tab.<\/p>\n You also have the option of linking to a frameless<\/strong> display \u2014 that is, a display that shows the content of the display without the grey Explorer header.<\/p>\n![\"image002\"](\"https:\/\/oihelp.corporate.ifs.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/image002.png\")
