- The main window can be maximised or minimised using controls at the right hand end of the title bar;
- A menu bar with familiar File, View and Help menus. Additional menus direct you to more specific functions of Source; and
- Toolbars providing point-and-click access to many commands.
Figure 1. User interface for Source
The following toolbars (available from the main Source screen) allow you direct access to various sections of Source:
- Data Sources toolbar - allows you to add and manage sources of data (time series or by linking to another scenario). You can edit or view this data once it has been loaded in the Data Sources Explorer;
- File toolbar - allows you to create a new project, opening an existing project, and saving a project (and all the scenarios within that project);
- Function manager toolbar - allows you to add and manage all functions and expressions in Source;
- Ordering toolbar - provides quick access to ordering-related functions. The button on this toolbar reveals a pop-up menu;
- Project toolbar - allows you to toggle view of the Project Explorer, Recording Manager, Log Reporter and Chart Recording Manager;
- Recording Manager toolbar - allows you to manage results in the Recording Manager;
- Scenario toolbar - allows you to hide or display the Geographic Editor, Schematic Editor and Tabular Editor, the Function Manager, Data Sources, the Node Palette, the Layer Manager and Location Control panels; and
- Simulation toolbar - allows you to set the analysis type (single, stochastic or flow calibration), specify start and end dates for the simulation, and to run the catchment model.

Figure 7. Notes, Overview
If a note can be added to an item, when you right-click on the item the option Add Note will be available from the context menu, refer to Adding notes to nodes and links. The exception is adding notes to a function, which is done using the Add/Edit Note icon in the Function Editor toolbar, see Adding a note to a function.
A summary of all the notes configured in a scenario can be viewed using View » Notes. For the example shown in Figure 8, the First inflow andDam nodes, the $AllocGS function and the Default Link #1 link have notes associated with them.
...
Once a scenario containing notes has been run, the notes are listed in the log reporter with a message type of Note. Also listed is the notification level, the name of the associated item (eg. Inflow 1) and the text message. Furthermore, the Schematic Editor shows all the nodes and links that have notes configured on them. Figure 9 shows two nodes with informational notes, one with a warning note, and one error note.

Selecting a date, pressing return, or clicking outside of the calendar’s confines closes the calendar.
Dockable windows
Many Source windows can be docked within the main window, or arranged independently, depending on your project or scenario requirements. For example, if you have a very large node-link network, you can separate the Schematic Editor panel from the main Source window, thus providing a better view of the entire network. This section explains how to you can customise views of the Source main screen.
The dockable windows include the Geographic, Schematic and Tabular editors, the Map tab, most of the auxiliary windows, and windows belonging to some plugins. The docking and undocking action sticks with a project and scenario when it is saved. If the Schematic Editor is not docked, and a project is saved and closed, when it is re-opened, the Schematic Editor will be in the same position it was when the project was closed. The same applies if Source is closed and re-opened.
Undocking windows
The default position of dockable windows is docked. A single click within the borders of any docked window will activate it. An active window can be identified from either its title bar or from an element within it that is highlighted. For example, the Project Explorer is the active docked window in Figure 1.

The windows of some tools may be docked in the main window.
Windows can be reset with View » Reset All Windows.
