If you click MDI Child, the Explorer becomes a window that you can move,
minimize, maximize, or restore, within the main window. You cannot move the
Explorer outside the main window.
As long as it is undocked, you can resize the Explorer. To do this, click an edge or corner
of the window, and then drag until it’s the size you want.
Opening and closing folders
The Explorer uses folders to organize editors.
To open or close a folder, use one of these methods:
 Click the + or – symbol beside the folder’s icon.
 Double-click the folder.
 Click the folder, and then press Enter to open or close the folder, depending on its
current state.
Opening component editors
Use the editors in FactoryTalk View Studio to create or modify application components.
Editors are represented by icons in the Explorer window, or by items in menus.
To open an editor, use one of these methods:
 Double-click on one of the components in an application (for example, a display).
 Drag the editor’s icon from the Explorer to the workspace.
 Right-click the editor’s icon, and then click New or Open.
If the editor can create multiple components, the shortcut menu contains New. If the editor
can only open a single component, the menu contains Open.
