To improve your efficiency, TOTAL uses several PowerViews, some of which can be broken away from the main screen to view them on multiple monitors. Many of the panels within these PowerViews are also collapsible, allowing you to further customize your workspace. Instead of going back and forth between multiple screens, you get all of your information, right at your fingertips.

PowerViews

TOTAL has several PowerViews that can be broken away, or "undocked", from the main window for use in multiple‑monitor systems. Undocking allows you to view a PowerView's contents while working in another area of your report. The following PowerViews can be undocked:

  • Photos

  • Sketch

  • Addenda

  • Worksheet

  • E&O

  • Workfile

  • Notes

To undock a PowerView, click the arrow to the right of the PowerView name.

Dock Icon

This launches the PowerView in a separate window in front of TOTAL. Click and drag the undocked PowerView to another area of your desktop. Multiple PowerViews can be undocked and arranged simultaneously. When a PowerView is undocked, the tab turns black with a white outline. To dock the PowerView again, click the Dock button in the upper left of the undocked window.

After closing the report, any undocked windows close automatically. The next time you open a report, the PowerViews will be in the docked position. Clicking the "undock" arrow on the PowerView tab again restores it to the last known position.

Panels

TOTAL's collapsible panels expand upon features in previous versions of TOTAL. Several of the PowerViews in TOTAL contain panels. These can be minimized for further customization of your workspace. To collapse panels in TOTAL, click any panel title bar that has a white triangle.
