====== Information window ======

To display this window select **Window | Information** from the [[Menu_bar|main menu]]. The information window will display information on the currently selected object(s). For example, when a [[Parameter|parameter]] is selected, the information window will show all its nominal values and probability density functions, its full name, unit, description etc. It will also display the names of all other objects that use the parameter.

===== Hyperlinks =====

Names of Ecolego objects that are displayed, such as in the “referenced by” tag or in expressions, are hyperlinks. By clicking on the object name, that object is made the currently selected object. That way you can navigate through a [[Model|model]], and see how different objects are related.

===== Documentation =====

One of the main ideas with the information window is to encourage adding documentation to [[Project|projects]], by assigning units, giving full names and writing descriptions. You can put [[Hyperlink|hyperlinks]] to [[Document|documents]], web pages or files on your computer, by using the **Add Link** button when [[Editing_properties|editing object properties]].

===== Symbols =====

When displaying expressions, such as differential equations or transfer expressions, the information window will attempt to create [[Symbol|symbols]] for the objects referenced in the equation (unless, of course, if a symbol has been assigned).

To turn off this functionality and write the object id’s instead, right click and deselect **Symbol** from the popup menu.
