Displaying current through a pin

I was trying to figure out how to display current flowing into a pin in Cadence. I need to calculate the total power dissipated by the circuit. 

I clicked on Outputs>To be saved and then clicked on the pins I was interested in. Where are the current values saved? And is there a way to display them for different schematic pins like for DC node voltages. 

I am also getting the following warning. 

WARNING (ADE-3022): Schematics of the following net names could not be mapped to
simulators. Ensure that the specified schematic names are valid.
/I7/vdd! /I12/vss!

    Thanks for telling me what psf is. Sorry about not providing the version number. It is 6.1.6. how do you enable instance currents in this version ( the info balloon you spoke of)?
