Views

Views support editors and provide alternative presentations as well as ways to navigate through information. For example, the SNOMED CT View displays the structure of the SNOMED CT terminology as a tree of concepts.

The following views are available in Snow Owl:

The SNOMED CT, ICD-10, OPCS-4, ATC, LOINC Views are sometimes referred to as concept navigators since they allow navigating through the hierarchy.

To take a look at all available views, select Window > Show View. To bring up a view that isn't displayed on the user interface, go to Window > Show View > Other > Snow Owl.

Views that are already open are greyed out on the list.

Available Views

Views have their own menus and toolbars; the actions represented by buttons on the toolbar only affect the items within that view.

Stacked Views

You can resize and arrange views by dragging them to different docking positions in the user interface.

When dragging a view, you can see how the perspective would change indicated with grey lines/rectangles.

If you drop the view when rectangles are displayed, the view will be docked as a separate window; if a single line appears next to a view tab, it will be docked as a tabbed notebook.

Views can not be docked in the central area because it is reserved for editors.
