Creating fast views

Fast views are hidden views, which can be quickly made visible. We will start by creating a fast view from the Navigator view and then dig into how to use the view once it is a fast view. 

There are two ways to create a fast view

Let's start by creating a fast view using drag and drop.

  1. In the Navigator view click on the title bar and drag it to the shortcut bar at the far left of the window. 

  2. Once you are over the shortcut bar the cursor will change to a stack cursor. Release the mouse button to drop the Navigator onto the shortcut bar.

    The shortcut bar now includes a button for the Navigator fast view

To create a fast view using the second approach we would started by popping up the context menu over icon in the top left corner of the Navigator view.  From this menu we would have chosen Fast View.
