114 Overview of the RAPID Interface
Overview of the RAPID Interface
In the RAPID v8.3 software, a wide band spans the top of the main program window. This ribbon is
comprised of three tabs. Each tab on the ribbon has different buttons and commands that are organized into
ribbon groups. This ribbon replaces the menus and toolbars in previous RAPID versions.
When opening a RAPID video the RAPID user interface displays the View tab. This tab contains many of
the most frequently used commands for viewing a RAPID procedure video.
The ribbon interface is designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task.
Commands are organized in logical groups, which are collected together under the
View and Report tabs.
When working with study videos, the controls you need for viewing, annotating, and creating reports are
arranged in ribbons, which group similar functions together.
There are three basic components to the ribbon:
• Ribbon Tabs: There are three ribbon tabs, File, View and Report that span across the top. Each one
represents an activity area.
• Ribbon Groups: Each tab has several groups that show related items together.
• Commands: A command is simply a button, a box to enter information, or a menu.
The RAPID interface enables multiple ways to access functions:
• by clicking a button,
• by right-clicking to select an option,
• by using the menu options.
Dialog Box Launchers
Some ribbon groups have a small diagonal arrow in the lower-right corner that when clicked will
display certain options that are not otherwise visible. In the RAPID interface, there are three screen
launchers to show additional options:
• in the View screen, in the Preview ribbon group,
• in the Report screen, in the Configure ribbon group,
• in the Report screen, in the Image Data ribbon group.
Quick Access Toolbar: These
commands are available in all
screen and ribbon views.
