There are five panels in the Status Bar whose functions are as follows (from left to right):


Panel Description
First Panel Shows the name of the current model. Clicking on the Model Name enables the Model to be saved. Double Clicking on the Model Name enables a Save As.

If you are in a sub-system, and double-click on the ScreenName you are shifted up one level to the screen containing the portal which owns the sub-system (ie. you move up the model screen hierarchy).

InterDyne Mode: Displays the “Run Status” of the model (Red Square if not running, Green Square if Running or Paused).

Fifth Panel Flow or Interaction Edit View: The current Item name is displayed. Clicking on the current Item name displays the Item Edit Menu. Object Edit View: Displays the Object Type the Modeller has clicked on in the Model Work Area.
