Access Design Space Items Using the Ribbon

You can select fields and controls using the ribbon to access design space items.

The Current Selection drop-down list displays a tree structure showing all the fields and controls on the design space. You can use this menu to select items on the design space to view or edit.

When you navigate the tree structure and click a field or control, it is highlighted on the design space and the options on the Design tab are updated to reflect the actions you can take on the item. This lets you quickly find and select a specific field or control on the design space and access its properties without having to locate it on the design space.

1. From an open workspace or script, click an item on the design space to activate the Design and Rules tabs.
2. Click the Design or Rules tab.
3. From the Selected Object group, click the Current Selection drop-down list.
   The tree opens listing the fields and controls on the design space. The item you selected in step 1 is automatically selected in the tree.
4. Expand or collapse the tree to go to the field or control you want to view.
5. Click the item in the tree to select it on the design space.
