Unison Mosaic Designer User Manual
User Interface
The software has been designed to present a consistent graphical user interface and so it is worth familiarising
yourself with the layout of a typical window before proceeding further:
Main toolbar
The main toolbar contains the File menu to create New projects as well as Open and Save existing projects. The
View menu accesses various optional,typically diagnostic, windows and the Zoom menu allows you quickly to
manipulate the plan or timeline scale and position. The Options menu allows you to configure various application-
wide options and the Help menu gains access to this help, software build details and the means to check for any
software upgrades.
Mode tabs
The application is divided into ten modes which can be selected by clicking on the appropriate tab. See the Quick
Start
overview for a brief description of each mode and then the Reference section for more details.
Mode toolbar
The left hand end of this toolbar always carries the New, Open and Save project buttons. The remainder is pop-
ulated with tools as appropriate to the selected mode.
Browser
The browser is common to most modes and provides the primary interface for selecting, expanding and grouping
fixtures in the project. The rows of the browser provide the seeds for Designer's timeline programming interface.
Some modes (Simulate, Network & Reports) have no browser since fixture selection is not relevant. Scroll bars
will appear as required and the browser can be made wider by dragging the right hand border.
