# Navigation in CMDB Query Builder

Use the navigation tools to enlarge or shrink the query, to move the query, or to border a section of the query to run.

Use the buttons in the navigation tool \[Omitted image "NavigationToolQueryBuilder.png"\] Alt text: navigation tool buttons. as follows:

-   Use the plus sign \(+\) to increase magnification of the query.
-   Use the minus sign \(-\) to decrease magnification of the query.
-   Select the center dot to center the query on the canvas.
-   Use the direction arrows to move the query in that direction.
-   Use the selection tool under the navigation tool to toggle between two states:
    -   Moving the entire query on the canvas.
    -   Bordering a section of the query, which you can then run as a partial query.
