In addition, there is the <i>Storage Perspective</i>. 
Each Perspective comprises several views, whose layout can be modified by drag&drop the views to other areas.

<h3><u><font color="#336699">Error Log</font></u></h3>

In the case that something doesn't work properly, AutoFOCUS3 logs error reports and warnings into a text file. 
In the case you need this information, this is accessible in the help-menu.

<h3><u><font color="#336699">Expert View</font></u></h3>

AutoFOCUS3 doesn't show some parts of the projects per default in order to let the user concentrate on the important things.
You can make these parts visible by enabling the <i>Expert View</i> by pressing the <img src="./pictures/Button.Expert.png"> button.
