When you are immersed in simulation model development, little conveniences can make all the difference. During the debugging process, it is common to run the model for some time, flip back to one or more Information Store (IS) sheets, perhaps change something then start the whole process again.
To help save time, we often create a 'Control Panel' sub-window containing quick links to important information as well as dynamically updated statistics of interest. This is especially true for small to mid-sized models that may not have a full-fledged user interface attached. A simple control panel is quick to put together, yet it saves development time and serves as a useful reference point for the model's end user.
