DW Spectrum User Manual
Digital Watchdog
Showing and Hiding Side Panels
Side Panels are extremely useful, though may be hidden by a user if needed. The buttons show/hide
Panels as well as Hide Panel Context Menu item.
If an item is expanded to fullscreen (see "Expanding Items to Fullscreen"), all Panels slide off the screen
and disappear.
To bring Panel back, click on .
Additionally, both left and right sliding menu panels can be pinned ( ):
If Pinned: side Panels are always visible. If a panel is hidden manually, it will not reappear
automatically.
If Unpinned: Panel is only visible when the cursor is on. As soon as a user clicks off the Panel, the
panel will disappear. Panel can reappear if a user points or clicks on .
F11 hides all Panels. To undo, press F11 again or use Esc (toggle Fullscreen will also apply if hit Esc).
Tabs and Layouts
Tabs are used to make layout navigation easier. Each Tab hosts a separate Layout. Tabs function very
similar to any Internet browser.
The following actions can be performed with Tabs:
Open a new tab:
Tab Navigator’s Context Menu –> New Tab (Ctrl+T)
Main Menu –> New –> Tab
Close a specific Tab: Tab’s Context Menu –> Close (Ctrl+W)
Keep one Tab open – Tab’s Context Menu –> Close All but This
Change the tab order – switch position by dragging and dropping a tab in the desired order.
IMPORTANT: A warning message will appear every time Tab is modified, suggesting to the user to save
changes. See “Saving Layouts”.
