Mouse Maneuvers - Schedule Navigation

Using Mouse Maneuvers for Schedule Navigation is a "well-known secret" of the Schedule Board as a whole, and the Manage open Work Order / Slots Tab on the right side in particular, to increase convenience and speed.

In addition, the individual Schedule Slots use some specialized mouse functions (See Mouse Maneuvers for Schedule Slots). All of these "little tricks" are worth learning.

Hover:

•	When you hover the mouse over a Schedule Slot that has been "miniaturized," the full details of the Schedule Slot will appear in a pop-up message beside the mouse.

•

When you hover the mouse over the Open Work Order / Slots Tab, a work window appears which will stay open until you click somewhere else on the screen. (If you wish to keep it open, click on the Pin Icon in the upper right corner of the window, and click the Pin Icon again to close it. When you exit this Layout View and re-enter, the Pin will still be in effect until you un-pin it.)
