Ribbon Interface

The Ribbon contains tools that you use to complete tasks in the selected document. Tools are represented as button and menu controls, which light up when you select them or move the pointer over them. Related controls are organized into feature groups, such as Productivity and Screen History. Groups are located on tabs, which are organized by function, such as changing the document appearance.

The appearance of the Ribbon and the features available from it depend on the document type and changes you've made to the Ribbon for that document type.

To navigate the ribbon

Do any of the following:

To	Do this
View the entire Ribbon	Expand the workspace by dragging the lower-right corner.
Show or hide the Ribbon	Double-click any tab in the Ribbon. (This method is temporary. The Ribbon is maximized when InfoConnect is reopened.) Click Full Screen from the Status bar. Map a keyboard shortcut to show or hide the Ribbon with a keystroke. Sessions using the default 3270 or 5250 keyboard map already have this action mapped to CTRL+F1. On the Quick Access Toolbar menu, choose Minimize the Ribbon.
View a description of a task	Place the pointer over the button.
Open settings for a task	Click the launcher in the lower-right corner of a group.
Go to the next session document or Web page	Press CTRL+TAB.
Go to the previous session document or Web page	Press CTRL+SHIFT+TAB.
Go to the next pane in the current session document	Press CTRL+1.
Use your keyboard to interact with the Ribbon	Press ALT to display the KeyTips.

NOTE:You can change the interface appearance from the Configure User Interface dialog box. When using the Classic MDI interface, only one document can be open in a workspace, and other features may not be available.
