Visiopharm General
The main Visiopharm interface consists of several functional areas: the Working area, the Ribbon, the Drawing Tool and the Database. The layout can be changed by the user, if Layout Locked is unchecked in options. The layout is changed by dragging areas around to customize the layout.

Ribbon
The Ribbon includes the following toolbars as well as general buttons and module-specific controls.:
