Syntax
Application page

The application interface consists of a main container, a sidebar, and a chromebar.

GBC application page

Main container

The main container displays the application. Expand or contract the panel by moving the divider between it and the sidebar.

The sidebar lists all open applications and windows. You can switch between applications and windows by selecting them from the list. The selected application or window displays in the main container. When you close an application, it is removed from the sidebar list.

Depending on the width of your browser window, you may not see the sidebar. If the sidebar is not displayed, you can access it from an icon (commonly called the "hamburger icon") located next to the window name in the title bar. The hamburger icon consists of three horizontal stripes. Click on the sidebar icon and the sidebar opens, giving you access to all opened applications and windows.

Chromebar

If you are not in debug mode, the chromebar displays four icons.

GBC chromebar

NOTE: If you see more than four icons, you are viewing the application in debug mode. See Debug icons.

Application information

Displays information about the GBC version.

Settings

The Settings interface provides four areas of information and/or configuration:

  • Interface language - Set the language to use for GBC messages. This setting is independent to (and does not affect) the localization of the application.
  • Interface theme - Select the theme for the application. Changing the theme immediately changes the look-and-feel of the application.
  • Stored Settings - Store settings regarding the user interface and user modifications, such as table formatting (column sizes, sorting, column display, frozen columns, and so on), splitter positions, and sidebar visibility and size.
    • Click the Reset Stored Settings button to clear the stored settings.
    • Select the Enable Stored Settings checkbox to allow stored settings, or deselect to force the application preferences.
  • Debug & QA
    • The Typeahead duration is used to simulate a slow network and force the typeahead mechanism to be triggered. The default is 5ms, meaning the layout request would be delayed for 5ms. It could be less, but the difference might not be visible or relevant. Typeahead cannot be disabled.
    • Set the log level and log types.

Bookmark

Adds a bookmark for the application to the Bookmarks panel on the GBC home page.

Close window

Closes the selected application.

Upon closing, you are taken to the next open application in the sidebar. If there are no more applications in the sidebar, GBC displays the application end page.

Note: The Close window icon may not be shown while an application is expecting user input or other action.
