Navigator
The Navigator in V5.0 has two great
new features. Firstly it can be "docked" so it always there -
and it also supports "popup" operation just like in V4.6.
So why two modes? Popup is great for saving valuable screen "real
estate". If you want to enter a sire/dam/owner/breeder (or other
linked field) just right click on a cell - the Navigator pops up you
select the record to enter and it disappears.
In "docked" mode the Navigator will remain on screen. This
can be useful particularly if you're using the Edit tab with forms or with
the Ped.Chart feature.
The docked mode has already been shown in the previous screen shots on
this page. The popup view is shown below:
Docking and undocking the Navigator are easy - just click in the
title bar of the Navigator and drag away from the left side of the screen
to undock, or drag it back to the left side to dock it. Note that the size
of the Navigator can be adjusted when floating by dragging the bottom
right corner. Directly
Edit in Any Form The Navigator also has an Edit tab which allows you to
edit any field in any record shown on a form. In the screen shot below we
show the Navigator docked on the left with the Edit tab selected. It shows
all the fields on an ancestor in the pedigree form we selected by clicking
on it. Any of these can then be edited. You can even click in an
"empty" ancestor position and add an entry by clicking in the
combobox at the top of the Edit tab then hitting Enter.
