### Views

Views support editors and provide alternative presentations or navigations of the information in the Workbench. For example:

- The Bookmarks view displays all bookmarks in the Workbench along with the names of the files with which the bookmarks are associated.
- The Navigator view displays the projects and other resources.

A view might appear by itself or stacked with other views in a tabbed notebook.

To activate a view that is part of a tabbed notebook simply click its tab. The Workbench provides a number of quick and easy ways to configure an environment, including whether the tabs are at the bottom or top of the notebooks.

Views have two menus, the first, which is accessed by right clicking on the view's tab, allows the view to be manipulated in much the same manner as the menu associated with the Workbench window.

The second menu, called the "view pull-down menu", is accessed by clicking the down arrow . The view pull-down menu typically contains operations that apply to the entire contents of the view, but not to a specific item shown in the view. Operations for sorting and filtering are commonly found on the view pull-down.

Customizing the Workbench is a good opportunity to use the Window > Reset Perspective menu operation. The reset operation restores the layout to its original state.

A view can be displayed by selecting it from the Window > Show View menu. A perspective determines which views may be required and displays these on the Show View submenu. Additional views are available by choosing Other... at the bottom of the Show View submenu. This is just one of the many features that provide for the creation of a custom work environment.
