(Start Page only.) Hide the Start Page. To redisplay it, use the drop-down menu at the top right of the Diagram View, or select the Window | Show Start Page menu option.

 

 

Notes:

  • The Component View tab is white with bold text; this means that the Component View diagram is the diagram currently displayed in the Diagram View
  • The Use Case View tab has an asterisk. This means that there are unsaved changes in the Use Case View diagram
  • There are also tabs for other types of view, such as the Start Page (as shown), RTF reports, code editors, the Model Search and the Relationship Matrix
  • You can change the sequence of tabs by clicking on each tab and dragging it to a different position, as required. However, you cannot change the position of the Start Page tab. When displayed, it always sits at the left-hand end of the sequence
