USS manual
How to handle boxes
1) Box types and their handling
The USS is designed as a hierarchical system of boxes. A box may contain other boxes or an indicator. The four main boxes are all boxes containing boxes.
A box may be opened by double clicking or selecting 'open' from the right click menu. Alternatively, 'open level' from the right-click menu will open the box and its graphs.
When holding the "Shift' key while double clicking, USS zooms in on the box (or graph)Note: When holding the "Shift' key while double clicking, USS zooms in or out on the box (or graph).
Note that the right click menu items are context depending. Right click on the graph itself results in other options then right click on the border of the graph.
2) Indicator types
An indicator may be represented in a graph, chart or in a map.
A cream-colored box contains a graph or chart, a blue box contains a map.
3) Popup menu for a closed indicator box
Only the options in the upper part of the popup menu are used for handling boxes.
Open: displays the next level of the box without changing the box size. Zoom in: displays the same, but uses the entire window.
4) Popup menu for an open indicator box
Close: closes the current box and returns to the previous level. Zoom out: zooms out to the previous level but does not close the box.
5) Popup menu for a box containing boxes
Compared to the menu of indicator boxes, this menu has two additional options in the upper part:
Close all: closes the current box and all the boxes contained in it. Open all: opens all the boxes on the lower levels and displays the indicators. (This may take some time!)
