Exploring the SOAPware Interface - Toolbars
Many commands in SOAPware are used repeatedly, and it is common to place frequently used commands on toolbars. By default, a common toolbar is placed on the right side of the screen. Multiple toolbars are an option, and they can be placed/docked to any edge of the screen. Also, they can float anywhere desired.
Primary Toolbar - Menu
1. SOAPware Workspaces

2. Chart
The Chart menu provides many of the tools needed for the chart workspace.

Multiple Toolbar Options
In addition to the Common Toolbar, there are several additional toolbars available. To view these, Click on the Tools Menu and select "Customize". This will bring up the Customize window above. Click each individual toolbar wished to be displayed.
The additional toolbars are:

Users may also Click "New" to create their own customized toolbar, and may Click Reset to reset the toolbars to the default settings.
Customizing Toolbars
Users may customize the existing toolbars by adding and deleting buttons from the existing toolbar. To do this, Click the Commands tab in the Customize window shown above.
- To add commands to a toolbar, locate the command to add. To locate the commands a user would like to include, Click on "All Commands", or browse by category, such as "Chart Section" or "Edit".
- Next, Click and hold on the command in the "Command" section of the window and drag it to the toolbar and drop it in the desired location. When the command is ready to drop, a black bar will be visible in the toolbar, indicating where the new command will be located.
Once the command is dropped, a new button will be placed on the users toolbar.
Removing a Command from the Toolbar
To remove a command from a toolbar, with the command window above still open, Click and hold the button on the toolbar and drag it to the command window and drop it. This will remove it from the toolbar. Users may also use this method to rearrange the commands on the toolbars by dragging them to another position.
Saving Toolbar Customizations
To save the changes that were made to the toolbar, we will first Close the Customizations window. Users will then be presented with the warning shown above.
Anytime a user makes changes to their toolbar, they must save their changes by going to Tools > Options > Toolbars > Save.
