Work with the Mini Inspector

You can display the Mini Inspector by hovering over a model on the Canvas.

The Mini Inspector displays the favorite parameters and variables for a model. From the Mini Inspector, you can change the value of the model parameters and the specification status, value, and unit of measure (UOM) of the model variables. You can also drag a variable or parameter onto the Canvas to add a variable reference or parameter reference for that variable or parameter, respectively. You can drag a variable onto a Trend on the Canvas to add it to that Trend.

You can hide the Mini Inspector from the Edit/View tab. This prevents the Mini Inspector from appearing when you hover over a model on the Canvas. However, you can still double-click a model to open its Mini Inspector in a window that does not disappear when you navigate away from the model on the Canvas.
