Menu
AirVision utilizes the MS Office 2007 menu environment, which allows for a dynamic "ribbon" to exist at the top of the screen to change based on the active application (e.g., while in the data editor, icons at the ribbon allow users to switch between cross-tab, matrix, and graphical data presentations).

Help Menu
A sub-menu is provided for links to our support page, this wiki, other helpful how-tos, and the latest version of the PDF manual.

Site/Parameter Picker
The most common navigation form, the site/parameter/interval "picker" exists in editor query forms, report forms, etc. It is the most important UI item to make easy to use and effective. AirVision supports both individual click-selection of sites/parameters, as well as the entry of queries in the top of the site/parameter columns to filter the list for selection (e.g., all data from Site XYZ, or all parameters that have "NO" in the name).

EPA Parameter Type (now called "Parameter Template") is also supported as a third column in this picker.

Intervals are selected from a picklist of known intervals (001m, 005m, etc).

Time Range Picker
AirVision supports calendar controls with month/year scrolling, as well as a button to 'quickset' the time range to common ranges:

• This/last day, week, month, quarter, or year
• Previous X days

Favorites
AirVision supports saving the selected sites, parameters, intervals, and other properties of editors and reports as a named Favorite, just like Internet Explorer favorites. Favorites can be recalled, and even edited to 'tweak'.

Things to Note!
Because you can have several of the same form open (e.g., parameter editor), be advised that each form is its own space- you might be editing SiteA:Ozone in one window and SiteB:SO2 in another. If you save the first form, and quit the second form without saving, you would lose the changes in the second form! But the system will warn you about unsaved changes.

The Channel form has sub-tabs for the different channels within a logger, but all of those tabs exist within the space of the primary tab. It is possible to close sub-tabs without saving changes (which can be a bit confusing).
