Toolbar

There is one toolbar that operates in two different modes, one for template design (Design mode) and one for testing (Run mode).

In addition, the Viz Indicator on the toolbar indicates Template Wizard’s connection status to Viz Engine.

The Run/Design button toggles the two modes:

  • Run (F9): Switches to Run mode. This mode requires that a template is open.

  • Design (F9): Switches to Design mode. This mode is the default mode.

    Note: Toggle the run and design modes by using the F9 key.
