Working with Floating Lists

You open a floating list by clicking a framework diagram node or matrix cell.

Note: Floating lists are not available when you select the Documents display preference (see Project Display Preferences).

Floating lists contain the following tools to let you manage project documents in the framework diagram and matrix:
