Toolbar

Pipeline Runner Studio has a toolbar on the Main Form which is designed to make using the application simple. The toolbar contains buttons and potentially other controls which are relevant to the context in which you are using the system. In other words, the toolbar and its contents may vary according to what you are trying to do and what is appropriate.

Each toolbar button will have an icon indicating what it does, and in case that is not clear enough by default hovering your mouse over any button will display a description of what the button does:The main form tool bar gives quick access to frequently used commands.

Each button provides a quicker and easier way to access a command that could be buried quite deeply in the menu structure. For example, if you click the Save All toolbar button that would take a single click compared to clicking the File menu item, traversing down the menu items checking whether you have the right one until you reach the Save All menu item and then clicking it. Using the toolbar button typically uses less than 20% of the effort compared to accessing the same command using the Menu.
