Flow Navigator sections and views

Find section names and view entries in Digital Design Studio's Flow Navigator.

Flow Navigator groups project tools into expandable sections in the Windows app 2.1.2.3 and Cloud 2.1.2.10. Use the section and entry names to find a view or its settings in an open project.

Evolve Settings

Select a section heading to expand or collapse its entries. Select an entry to open its view or settings. Some entries lead to a shared panel: for example, Netlist and Open Synthesized Design select the same analysis area. Sources opens the Explorer with its saved sub-view.

Find an entry

Enter a section name or entry name in Search flows…. A matching section name keeps all entries in that section visible. A matching entry name keeps that entry visible under its section. Search uses the labels shown in your interface language.

With a search entered, press Enter to open the first result. Press the down or up arrow in the search field to focus the first or last result. Press Escape to clear the search.

ISA source authoring

On both hosts, select ISA Design → ISA Authoring to open the project's CX source editor. With a writable project document open, edit the source and press Ctrl+S to save it. The ISA editor uses the project's file buffers and document selection.
