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.
