API Reference > imodeljs-frontend > Views > ViewManager ViewManager Class The ViewManager holds the list of opened views, plus the selected view. It also provides notifications of view open/close and suspend/resume. Applications must call ViewManager.addViewport when new Viewports that should be associated with user events are created. A single ViewManager is created when IModelApp.startup is called. It can be accessed via the static member IModelApp.viewManager. The ViewManager controls the render loop, which causes the contents of each registered Viewport to update on the screen.
