| |
| [[File:Editor_ribbon_bar_middle.jpg|850px|thumb|left|The ribbon header, with active "Indicators" tab, the ribbon bar with the active "Indicators" Button and several other (inactive) buttons]]<br clear=all>
| |
| The ribbon header consists of a number of tabs, which provide access to buttons required to edit your project. The visible buttons are context-sensitive, they depend on the active tab in the ribbon header. The different tabs including buttons will be described below.
| |
|
| |
| ==Ribbon bar==
| |
|
| |
| [[File:Editor_ribbon_bar.jpg|850px|The ribbon bar]]
| |
|
| |
| The ribbon bar provides access to the main properties adjustable in the {{software}}. The ribbon bar has 3 main functionalities. Starting and stopping the test run, currently active buttons (based on the active tab) and accessing and switching playable stakeholders available in the current project.
| |
|
| |
| ===Test run===
| |
| : ''Main article: [[Test_Run|Test run]].
| |
| [[File:Editor_ribbon_bar_testrun_active.jpg|thumb|left|test run Active]] A test run is a convenient way of quickly testing the current state of your project.

| [[File:Editor_ribbon_header_stakeholders.jpg|850px|thumb|left|]]<br clear=all>
| |
| Contains the options related to stakeholders: [[stakeholders]], [[actions]], [[measures]] and [[messages]].
| |
|
| |
| The ribbon bar displays available buttons. Active buttons are indicated by a blue background color. When active, the button provides access to the properties in the left panel. Selecting a different tab in the ribbon header makes different buttons available.
| |
|
| |
| ===Ribbon bar dropdown menu===
| |
| [[File:Editor_ribbon_bar_dropdown.jpg|150px|thumb|left|The ribbon bar dropdown menu]]
| |
|
| |
| A dropdown menu can be presented when hovering buttons on the ribbon bar. The dropdown menu can be used as a shortcut to access the left panel, to add items to your project, or can redirect users to the documentation section.

| ===Playable stakeholders, switching stakeholders, collaborate===
| |
| [[File:Editor_ribbon_bar_right_stakeholders.jpg|850px|thumb|left|The ribbon bar with all playable Stakeholders, the currently selected Stakeholder: "Gemeente" (Municipality), and another occupied stakeholder "Company".]]<br clear=all>
| |
| On the far right hand side, the ribbon bar displays all playable stakeholders for the current project. The currently active stakeholder is displayed with a blue background. An occupied stakeholder (selected by another user) is indicated with a gray background. Available stakeholders are displayed with a white background. This stakeholder becomes available for selection again when a user switches to a different stakeholder, or logs out of the {{software}}.
| |
|
| |
| The stakeholder buttons enable users to switch between stakeholders by selecting the corresponding button. You can only switch to a stakeholder that is not yet selected by another user.
| |
|
| |
| The stakeholder buttons are always visible, independently of the tab currently selected in the ribbon header.
| |
|
| |
| ===Switching stakeholders===
| |
|
| |
| Switching a stakeholder is done by pressing an available stakeholder button (displayed with a white background). Keep in mind that, when switching a stakeholder you will also switch the indicators, budget and actions among others. You will make an identity switch!
| |

| ====Invite a friend====
| |
| Users can also invite others to collaboratively make use of the editor. An invitation can be made by hovering over a stakeholder button and selecting "invite a friend".
