To the user, it is a
seamless experience as they simply click from one view to the next.
Saving a view at any point in time is simple. Every time the ProClarity Desktop
Professional client is started it opens a Briefing Book in much the same way that
starting Microsoft Word opens with a blank page. If a user opens Word and then closes
it, without doing anything to the blank page, Word closes without asking the user to
save the document. ProClarity Desktop is slightly different, in that the user may create
many views and perform a wealth of analysis but closing the application does not
prompt the user to save anything. This is because no matter how much work the user
does, unless he or she explicitly saves a view to the Briefing Book, no changes to the
Briefing Book have occurred, so ProClarity doesn??™t have to save the book.
Adding a view to a Briefing Book is simple: the user simply gets a view designed
as desired and then clicks on the Book menu and chooses Add to Briefing Book.
A dialog box will appear that allows the user to give the view a name and then the
view is added to the Briefing Book. If this is the first time the user has done this
for a particular book, the Briefing Book pane will be added to the UI and the new
view will show up in it. Future views can be added to the Briefing Book either by
using the Book menu or by clicking the Add button on the Briefing Book pane.
Figure 6-54 shows the Briefing Book pane open and a view from the book to the
right.
