Platform Browser - Mystic

The Platform Browser dialog displays a list of platforms that exist in the current scenario. Items in the browser are color-coded by team. The Platform Browser is accessible through the ‘View’ menu. It may be docked in the left or right docking areas of the main window. The browser may also pop out as a separate window.

Right clicking on an platform will display the Platform Context Menu, from which the user can perform a variety of actions such as adding range rings, using the measure tool to measure from the platform to another location, adding decorations, and centering the screen on the platform.

The Platform Browser title bar shows in parentheses the number of platforms that currently exists in the simulation followed by the total number of platforms that the scenario contains. The browser, by default, will only show active platforms. From the preferences, this may be changed to also show inactive (dead, removed, or not yet initialized) platforms.

The filter at the top of the browser can be used to only show platforms of a specific name, type, or team. Items in the browser are color-coded by team.
