TiCon Explorer is used for the administration and storage of TiCon elements, e.g. analyses and data cards. Explorer provides the (main) functions for the desktop. The MTM process elements – sorted by element system – are included by default. You can place your own elements in separate folders under “User Data.”

Navigation in Explorer
The navigation bar of Explorer displays the file path, i.e. the path used to access the current element. Using the arrow buttons to the left of the row, you can also navigate, for example back to the parent folder.

By clicking the arrow on the right edge of the navigation line, all recently opened folders are displayed in a drop-down list, from which they can also be reopened. The list corresponds to the recently used folders that are displayed in the Dashboard. The list corresponds to the most recently used folders that are displayed in the dashboard.
Please note: |

If the option "Save last Explorer path" is active in the Settings, the Explorer saves the last used folder path. |
In Explorer, any number of tabs can be opened. In order to display, e.g. Explorer and elements side by side, use the layout options for the work area.
A dedicated ribbon with numerous editing options is available for Explorer:
