Viewports in post-processing

The Viewports node in the Post Processing Navigator and Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator indicates graphically how many viewports are displayed, and in which viewport a post view or post-processing scenario is displayed.

Note:

A viewport only appears in the Post Processing Navigator if it contains a post view. All viewports appear in the Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator even if they contain a post view. You can right-click a viewport containing a post view in the Scenario Based Data-Visualization Navigator and choose the Edit Post View command to edit it.

Note:

Use the Layout group in the Results tab to select the different arrangements of viewports.
