QPR Metrics provides a very useful model navigating tool called the Scorecard Explorer. Its user interface resembles Windows Explorer's interface and it provides easy and fast navigation between model elements. The Scorecard Explorer window is also the optimal window for examining an entire model in one comprehensive view.

 

The Scorecard Explorer window consists of three frames: the Model Navigator Frame, the Viewing Frame, and the Tool Palette.

 

To refresh the window's contents manually, click the F5 button.
