Widgets
After clicking on a menu and selecting a widget, the widget will open. Most of the widgets are docked on the left side of the page.

After opening the widget, you can expand or contract the widget to a different size that will persist across all sessions.
To minimize the widget, click the left-facing arrow. To close the widget, click the x on the top right.

Results Grid
After running many widgets (Select Events, QC), a results grid will open containing event results. By default, the results grid will open at the bottom of the page, however, this is configurable. Users can directly edit event records in the results grid. The results grid contains four tools that can help a user edit event data: Zoom To (selected events), Select All, Save Changes, and Calculate Field.

Similar to widgets, you can expand and contract the results grid to a different size that will persist across all sessions.
To minimize the results grid, click the down-facing arrow (similar to widgets).
Toolbar and Zoom Slider
The Roadway Characteristics Editor includes a floating toolbar to help users navigate the map. These tools include Zoom to Initial Extent, Zoom to Previous Extent, Zoom to Next Extent, and Clear Map Highlights. Additionally, users can zoom in and out using the zoom slider. Both the toolbar and the zoom slider are located in the top-left portion of the map.
