# The workspace
> The parts of the Flowscope window and what each one does.
The window follows TradingView's grammar, so you find things where you expect them: a top bar with the symbol and interval, a drawing-tool rail on the left, a watchlist on the right and panes in the middle.

## Top bar
From left to right:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Symbol chip | Opens symbol search for the active pane. You can also just start typing a ticker. |
| Favourite intervals | One click switches the active chart. Star intervals in the interval menu to add them here. |
| Interval menu | Every built-in interval, your custom intervals and **Add custom interval…**. See [Charts](/docs/app/charts#intervals). |
| Favourite chart types and chart type menu | Switch between candles, footprint, liquidity and the rest. With a footprint chart the menu also picks the cell type. |
| **Indicators** | Opens the indicator dialog (/). See [Indicators](/docs/app/indicators). |
| Indicator templates | Save the active chart's studies as a template, or apply one. |
| Add pane | Adds a chart, footprint, liquidity heatmap, ladder, depth book, time & sales, liquidations or stats. Complete starting layouts are in Layouts → Community layouts. |
| Undo, redo | Layout history (Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y). |
| Layout menu | Save, autosave, copy, rename, create and switch layouts. See [Layouts](/docs/app/layouts). |
| Performance | Toggles the [performance overlay](/docs/app/performance). |
| Chart settings | Colours, status line, scales and canvas of the active chart. |
| Fullscreen | Desktop only (F11). |
| Snapshot | Copies the window image to the clipboard; the desktop also saves a PNG. |
| **AI** | Opens the [AI assistant](/docs/app/ai-assistant) (Alt+A). |
| **Trade** | Opens the order ticket and the account panel (Alt+O). See [Trading](/docs/app/trading). |
The layout name shows a dot (`•`) when it has unsaved changes and autosave is off.
## Panes
Every pane has a header strip with:
- a **link chip**: put panes in link group 1 to 5 and they share the symbol. Changing the market on one changes it on all panes in the group. Charts of a group also share their **drawings** (a line drawn, moved or removed on one chart is on the others too; Settings › General › Charts › *Linked charts share drawings*), and, with *Linked charts share the interval*, their interval. With *the crosshair stays in the link group* on, the crosshair of a linked chart shows only on the charts of its group.
- the **symbol** and, on charts, an **interval chip** that opens the interval menu for that pane.
- **maximize / restore** and **close** buttons.
Double-click the free space of a header to maximize the pane. Maximizing draws that one pane alone and leaves the rest of the layout untouched, so restoring loses nothing.
Drag the borders between panes to resize them. The pane you last clicked is the **active pane**; the top bar, symbol search and dialogs act on it.
Pane types:
| Pane | Page |
|---|---|
| Chart (any chart type) | [Charts](/docs/app/charts) |
| Order book ladder | [DOM and tape](/docs/app/dom-and-tape) |
| Order book depth | [DOM and tape](/docs/app/dom-and-tape#depth-book) |
| Time & sales | [DOM and tape](/docs/app/dom-and-tape#time-and-sales) |
| Stats | [Stats](#stats) below |
### Stats {#stats}
The **Stats** pane (**Add pane → Stats**) shows a market at a glance: the price and its 24 h change; for perpetuals and aggregated markets the funding rate, the time to the next funding settlement and open interest in USD; then, over a window of 1 m, 5 m (default), 15 m, 1 h or 4 h (chips at the top), the market buys and sells with their count and value, a bar of the buys' share of the value with the difference, and the long and short liquidations. On an aggregated market every figure covers all its venues. Like every pane it follows its link group's market.
## Left rail: drawing tools
The tool rail holds the drawing tools in groups, then **Measure** and **Zoom in**, then the magnet, stay-in-drawing-mode, lock all, hide all and remove all drawings on this chart. See [Drawings](/docs/app/drawings).
## Right rail and panel
Two icons on the far right open the side panel. Click the open panel's icon again to close it.
### Watchlist and details
The watchlist lists markets with last price and 24-hour change. Click a row to show it on the active pane. **+** adds a symbol. Right-click a row to remove it, add an alert, or **open it in a new pane** of any kind: chart, footprint, liquidity heatmap, ladder, depth book, time & sales or [Stats](#stats).
**Columns** chooses the optional columns: 24 h change, 24 h volume (USD), funding rate, open interest (USD) and **trades per minute** (prints over the last minute, a live measure of activity). Click a column head to sort by it. Columns that do not fit leave from the right.
The **treemap** button shows the watchlist as a treemap instead: each market a tile with its area by 24 h volume and its colour by the 24 h change (brighter the further it moved), the active market outlined. Click a tile to show it; right-click for the same menu as a row.
Below it, the detail card shows the active market: pair, venue and type (spot, perpetual, or aggregated spot + perpetuals), last price, 24-hour change and key statistics:
| Statistic | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 24h high, 24h low, 24h volume | From one-minute candles |
| Spread | Best ask minus best bid |
| Bid depth −1 %, ask depth +1 % | Resting size within 1 % of the price |
| Open interest, funding | Derivatives only |
| Liquidations 1h | Derivatives only |
| Book levels, prints held, memory | What the engine holds for this market |
### Object tree and data window
- **Object tree** lists the active chart's indicators and drawings. Indicators have show or hide, settings and remove buttons; drawings have show or hide, lock and remove.
- **Data window** lists the values under the crosshair: OHLC, volume and every study value.
## Bottom bar
| Element | What it does |
|---|---|
| Range presets | `1D` (1m bars), `5D` (5m), `1M` (30m), `3M` (1h), `6M` (2h), `1Y` (1D), `All` (1D, everything loaded). Each switches the active chart's interval and fits the span. |
| Go to date | Jumps the active chart to a date. |
| Simulator dot | Shown when running on the simulator. |
| Connection status | Venue and connection state of the active market. |
| Engine summary | Markets open, market memory, events per second and frame rate. |
| Version | The running Flowscope version. |
| Clock and time zone | Click to pick UTC, local time or a fixed offset. Charts and the clock use the chosen zone. |
## Phones and narrow windows
Below about 720 points wide (a phone, or a narrow browser window) the terminal switches to a phone layout; wider windows keep the desktop layout. Nothing about your layout changes: widen the window and every pane is where it was.
| Part | On a phone |
|---|---|
| Top bar | Menu, symbol, interval, chart type and indicators; the ticket, your account and **⋮** (undo, redo, snapshot, chart settings, bar replay, templates, add pane, layouts) |
| Panes | One at a time; the strip under the top bar lists the layout's panes, tap one to show it |
| Tab bar | **Chart**, **Watchlist**, **Trade** (the order ticket), **Alerts** and **More** (object tree, script editor, strategy tester, account panel, go to date, settings) |
| Script editor | Full screen; **Chart** returns to the chart |
| Dialogs | Nearly full screen; settings wrap their labels, the indicator list puts its sections in a menu |
On the chart, drag to pan (a flick keeps gliding), pinch to zoom, drag the price or time axis to stretch it. In the browser the page itself does not zoom, so a pinch always goes to the chart. Added to the home screen, Flowscope opens without the browser bar.
Between about 720 and 1100 points (tablets, small windows) the desktop layout stays; the bottom bar folds its range presets into a **Range** menu and shortens its labels.
## Crosshair
The crosshair time is shared across charts: hovering one chart shows the same moment on the others.
## Snapshots
The camera button copies an image of the window to the clipboard. On the desktop it also saves `flowscope-.png` in your Pictures folder, or in your home folder if there is none, and tells you where in a toast.
