The Navigation taskbar provides quick access to all active output windows and to the report design that generated the output. You can return to the last report that you edited in the Query pane by clicking Display Design View on the taskbar. The Navigation taskbar is always visible. It is located near the bottom of the application window, just above the status bar.
Each of the active output windows displays a tab on the Navigation taskbar. Selecting the tab displays that output window on the canvas. If you save a report with a unique name each time you modify it, when the report is executed and a new output window is generated, the unique name appears as a tab on the taskbar. If you continue to modify and execute a report without saving it with a unique name, a number in parentheses is appended to the original, saved report name to differentiate it among the multiple output windows.
The ability to select report output from the Navigation taskbar depends on the output window option selected from the status bar or from the Output Window group of the View tab. For more information, see Using the Status Bar, or Understanding Output Options.
Each report tab on the Navigation taskbar has a shortcut menu with the following options:
Restore, Minimize, Maximize, and Close are standard options available in any browser window or software application. Minimize, Maximize (if the window is not maximized), or Restore (if the window is maximized), and Close can also be found in the top-right corner of the output window.
The Auto Resize option enables automatic resizing of an output window as needed when you add or remove fields.
The Window Options menu at the far left of the Navigation taskbar provides options for displaying all active output windows on the canvas. The display options that you can select are Cascade, Tile Horizontally, Tile Vertically, Restore All, Minimize All, Maximize All, or Close All. The name of each active output window appears at the bottom of the menu.
The Window Options menu options are directly linked to the options available in the Output Window group of the View tab.
