Navigating the Workbench
The Animation Workbench, a customized version of Track View, uses some
of the standard Track View controls, and adds new ones of its own. The areas
of the Workbench interface include:
■ The Tab panels: Select, Analyze, Fix, and Filter
■ The Curve view, with Track View toolbars for key selection, manipulation,
and view navigation.
■ The Workbench toolbar, with tools for choosing Coordinate space, display
of sub-animations, and tools to hide the Tab area and controller list.
Each section of the Workbench User has specific navigation techniques.

Selecting Workbench Tracks on page 4481
Navigating the Tab Panel
Simply click the tabs to move from
one panel to another. The tools displayed change with each panel. The overall
workflow is left to right for the tabs, and top to bottom within each panel.
Selections are displayed in lists: clicking a name in a list selects that entry.
Operations are usually performed by clicking a button at the bottom of the
panel.
TIP The Tab panels can be hidden once the operations are
performed and you don't need to see the panels any more. Click the Tab button
in the Workbench toolbar to hide the panel display.
Displaying the Controller List
Click the Controllers button in the Workbench toolbar to display the
Controller List. When the controller list is displayed you can select multiple
tracks as you like, right-click them and assign controllers using the pop-up
menu. You can also get to properties for controllers such as Noise that don't
have keyframes.
