View Properties:

The CATALYST Control Center dashboard supports three types of views: Standard View/
Advanced View/ Custom View.

„

Standard View
The Standard view is the default view when
CATALYST Control Center is launched for the first
time. It provides a single button in the left naviga-
tion pane for each main page. The Standard view
is recommended for novice users.

„

 Advanced View
The Advanced view provides access to the
advanced features on each page. The left
navigation pane displays a tree view that lists all
the advanced features. The Advanced view is
recommended for experienced users.

„

Custom View
The Custom view allows you to display only the
features you choose in the left navigation pane.
The Custom view is recommended for
experienced users who want to expose only the
features they adjust most often or that their 3D
application supports.

Hotkeys Properties:

The Hotkeys Manager allows you to create shortcut key combinations to quickly perform tasks
such as changing a graphics setting or opening an application. A Hotkey is a combination of a
modifier key or keys, such as Ctrl, Alt, or Shift, and any letter from the alphabet.
