Tools bar
The Tools Bar on the Visual Designer canvas provides a range of helpful utilities to enhance the skill-building experience. The following tools are available for the skill developer:
Search Step: 'Search The ‘Search Step' tool simplifies navigation within extensive skill designs. Within With this tool, you have the ability to search for specific steps by 'step name’ or the object name used in the step. You can either select the desired step from the provided list or directly type in the step namesearch text. When a step is located through the search, the tool focuses on it, and the corresponding configuration is populated in the properties panel.
Collapse/Expand: Use Collapse to view a compact version of the skill and easily navigate through your complex skills. The view helps manage the canvas's design space efficiently, ensuring that the design environment remains clean, organized, and readable. Click on the icon again to go back to the expanded view. By default, a skill opens in the Expanded view. Once the layout is changed on the canvas, the selection is persisited. This means, saving the skill in collapsed mode, opens the skill in the Collapse view the next time.
Auto Layout: Auto Layout facilitates the automatic arrangement of steps in a skill. By adding controls sequentially and then using the Auto Layout feature, the steps within the skill are automatically organized based on their link to the other steps. This ensures the skill is visually appealing and easily understandable.
Minimap: The Minimap provides an overview of the entire skill design, offering a bird's-eye view. It allows users to locate and focus on specific sections of the skill quickly. When a section is focused, the Canvas is loaded with the steps corresponding to the selected section, enabling easy navigation and targeted editing within the skill.
Download in PNG format: The option exports the skill as a PNG image.
Zoom in/Zoom out: This allows adjusting the level of magnification on the skill design canvas, depending on user needs. It provides flexibility in visualizing and working with the skill design at different scales.
Auto Fit: Auto Fit options assist in adjusting the display to suit individual preferences, ensuring a smooth and efficient skill-building process.
