Ribbons

The Ribbons allow you to define the settings for formatting, content, and view, etc. of your concept.

Document

Use the document area to create your concept. In this area, you can enter the text and drag all elements such as reports, data elements, etc. there.

Objects

The Objects window displays all Explorers from the various modules. From this area, you can drag documents, reports, data elements, etc. and drop them into your concept.

Document Outline

The Document Outline window lists the headings to which one of the Headline styles is assigned. By clicking on a heading here, you can jump to the corresponding section in your document. This way, it is easier to navigate in your document, especially if it is large.

Variables

The Variables window provides variables you can insert into your concept. The variables can also be inserted by clicking the Variable button from the Insert ribbon.

Tasks

If Placeholders were defined for a document, a description of each placeholder will be displayed in the Tasks window. Click the respective button in the Tasks window to open the selection window for data which is available for this placeholder. Once you have selected the data, it replaces the placeholder.

Error List

By clicking the Validate button, you can check the concept for validity. Any errors found will be displayed in the error list. An error is present if, e.g., an inserted diagram was deleted or if a report does not exist any longer.

Layout

The windows can be arranged as desired by dragging and dropping. The position of each window is saved locally and will be remembered each time you open the Concept Editor.
