Creating a Fast View
A fast view is hidden and can be quickly opened and closed. It works like other views, except that it does
not take up space in your Active System Manager window. A fast view is represented by toolbar buttons
on the fast view action bar, the horizontal toolbar, on the bottom left of the Active System Manager window.
When you click the toolbar button for a fast view, that view opens temporarily in the current perspective.
When you click outside that view, it is hidden again.
To create a new fast view, click and drag any open view to the shortcut bar, or right-click the icon to the
left end of the view’s title bar and select Fast View.
You can dock the fast view bar on the right and left side of the Active System Manager window by
right-clicking the bottom, left corner and selecting the location.
Creating a Detached View
A detached view is a view that displays as a standalone, separate window. To create a detached view,
right-click a view and select Detached; see Figure . To cancel or return to the previous program, right-click
the detached view and select Detached.
