About the Application Home Page |
When you launch Touchstone
by double-clicking the Touchstone
icon, the application opens to the Home page. To return to the Home page
at any time, click Home 
.
The Home icon is always available on the Default tab; if you are not on
the Default tab, the Home icon is available on the Quick Access toolbar
on the title bar.
The Home page includes tabbed menus and ribbons. There are three main tabs: File, Default, and Project.
Tabs are contextual, that is, tabs appear
only when they are relevant to the task that you are performing. When
you select a tabbed menu, a ribbon displays icons for the available functions;
the icons on each ribbon are also contextual. For example, when the Project
Data area of the navigation pane is active, options relevant to Exposure
tasks, such as Management and Analyses, become available in the Management
and Analyses groups on the ribbon. To hide or show a ribbon, click 
in the far right of the menu bar.
The File tab displays a menu with the following functions: Account & System Info, About, Help, and Administration Console. The Account & System Info pane displays user, Touchstone Client, database server, and license expiration information. You can modify the business unit, the mode (Portfolio or Underwriting Contract), and the database server. The About pane displays information about the application, terms, and conditions.
The Default tab displays the Home tab and provides access to 
common
application tasks. You can access the same tasks from
the Quick Access toolbar on the title bar. The Home tab displays several
panes. In each pane you can click Maximize 
to maximize the pane, and then click Minimize 
to restore
the pane to its previous size and location.
Click here for information about sorting columns, filtering lists, grouping analysis results by different column headings, and calculating grand summaries of analysis results.
