After installing TIA Portal V16 (using the latest version as an example), the Portal view that is accessed by double-clicking the icon is a \"task-oriented interface,\" similar to the shortcut menu on a smartphone. It enables beginners to quickly find essential functions such as \"Create Project\" and \"Open Device Configuration.\" By clicking the \"Project View\" button in the top left corner, it instantly switches to the \"Engineer’s Workbench\", where the project tree, variable list, and editor are all clearly visible, making it suitable for managing complex projects.
