There are many functions available to help you navigate through the profiles.
Navigation Options
The profile's section is displayed on the screen; this is because of the number of various views.
There are various ways to navigate through the subtrees of the profile tree on the left-hand side to be able to view the desired profile elements:
- Use the incremental search to quickly select a profile or profile element (profile sections etc.)
- Jump between the profile elements in a higher or subordinate level in the profile tree
- You can jump from a profile element to the element's owning profile and, in doing so, see the profile element's context
- Jump from a profile element to where it occurs in any profile or to the next or previous profile.
Selecting an Entry in the Profile Tree
You can use an incremental search to quickly search for a certain entry (node) in all trees which are shown in Innovator, e.g. in the model tree and in the overview tree of the documentation. The tree behaves in exactly the way as in Windows Explorer: when entering the first letter, the first corresponding entry is selected.
This function is also available to you in the list of profile elements.
Jumping Between Profile Element
If your configuration is extremely comprehensive, it is not possible for all profile elements to be shown in the profile tree at the same time. You can also use the profile tree's scroll bar to roll the desired profile element so that it can be seen on the screen. However, you can also use keys to switch to an adjacent profile element.
The following functions are available:
- Jump to an adjacent profile element on the same hierarchy level (above or below) within a subtree
- Jump to the first subordinate profile element
- Jump to the higher-level profile element
Jump to the neighboring previous profile element at the same hierarchy level

Jumping to a Profile Element's Owning Profile
Context
The element of the profile element selected in the profile tree are shown in the list of profile elements or in the assignment compartment. There are various ways to find out whether the element is in the right place in this profile element (i.e. whether the subordinate is the owning profile):
- The profile element shown in the color set for imported entries (Extras/Options dialog, Color tab).
- You can jump from the profile element to the owning profile and show the element's context in doing so.
How to proceed
-
Select the profile element in the profile tree in the list of profile elements or in the assignment compartment.
-
Select
Jump>To Element ([Alt]+[Crsr Right]).The profile element is selected in the profile tree in the owning profile.
-
To jump back to the original profile element again, select
Jump>Back ([Alt]+[Crsr Left]).The profile element is selected in the importing profile.
Jumping to Reference Profiles
You can jump to all profiles which contain the profile element. Profiles which something is configured in for the element can be easily identified by their color.
You can use the 
Jump>Reference... menu command to jump to any profile where a profile element appears.
Use the Jump>Next Profile ([Ctrl]+[Crsr Down]) and Jump>Previous Profile ([Ctrl]+[Crsr Up]) menu commands to jump from an element to the next and previous profile.
The Jump>Back menu command jumps to each element previously selected before the menu commands.
