Creating fast views

Fast views are hidden views, which can quickly be made visible. These instructions explain how to create a fast view from the Projects view, and then explain how to use the view once it is a fast view.

There are two ways to create a fast view:

Create a fast view using drag and drop as follows.

  1. In the Projects view click on the title bar and drag it to the shortcut bar at the bottom left of the window.
  2. Once over the shortcut bar, the cursor will change to a “fast view” cursor. Release the mouse button to drop the Projects view onto the shortcut bar.

The shortcut bar now includes a button for the Projects fast view:

To create a fast view using the second approach, start by popping up the context menu over the Projects view’s tab. From this menu, select Fast View.
