Workspace Viewport Panel (<strong><i>Viewport</i></strong> in short) is a panel showing a part or the entire workspace area. This panel is especially useful when there are
numerous items on the workspace that can not be seen all at once at a higher or even default zoom levels used in the workspace. Besides viewing function, the <strong><i>Viewport</i></strong> also serves as a navigation tool when higher zoom levels are used in the workspace. In this case, clicking anywhere within the <strong><i>Viewport</i></strong> area will center the workspace at or close to that viewport location.
<p/><p/>In order to activate <strong><em>Viewport</em></strong>
in either Physical or Logical workspace you can do one of the following:
<p></p>
<ul></ul>
<li>Use <em>Show Viewport</em> item from the View menu.</li>
<p></p>
</p></p></div>

</p>
<div tabindex="0">
</p><li>Press <em><Shift-V></em> keyboard shortcut.</li>
<li>In Logical Workspace you can also use the Viewport button in the workspace toolbar.</li>
</p></p></div>

The <strong><i>Viewport</i></strong> can operate in two modes: <em>Contents</em> and <em>Workspace</em>.
<p/> Below you can see two images showing both modes and how they differ from one another. The image below shows <strong><i>Viewport</i></strong> in <em>Contents</em> mode
of operation. In this mode the viewport area contains only active workspace items. Therefore one can only see the office building and two devices. The partially shown circular arc is
a representation of the router's wireless range.

In the following image the <strong><i>Viewport</i></strong> panel is shown in <em>Workspace</em> mode for the same workspace as above. In this case the picture of the entire
workspace is shown and therefore in addition to the items we saw above, one can also see the entire City background and the full circle of the router's wireless grid.
