Managing Panes

101
Panes are dialog boxes that open to show information for selected operations, such as placing assets, creating
templates, searching for assets and capacities, and viewing capacities and properties. The calendar pane is available
to create and review projects, search for tags and view history.
You can drag panes from one sidebar to the other and to floating dialog boxes. When a pane is opened from the
menu or dragged to the content area, it appears in the dialog box or sidebar where it was last located. The size and
position of dialog boxes persist across user sessions, so when you log into your next session, the tool pane buttons
are presented in the same location as when you last set them.
The floating dialog boxes are organized as tabbed panes to support multiple tool panes and are persistent. The pane
dialog boxes can be resized, and they always stay on the top of the desktop. Each dialog box can be minimized
easily to hide them as desired. The panes stay open when you navigate from one view to another as long as the
pane is available for that view.
Moving Panes from one Sidebar to the other
All panes can be dragged from one side of the screen to the other and remain stationary. They can be moved while
in open or closed status. A drop-down list is available in the sidebar showing what panes are located on that
sidebar.
To move panes from one sidebar to the other:
1. Click the pane tab and drag it to the other sidebar. A small green rectangle is visible where the pane will be
placed.
2. If all panes are moved to one sidebar, the tabs are truncated, such as Capac...., and all pane names are partially
visible.
Removing Panes from the Sidebars
When panes are removed from the sidebar, they are visible in the View menu and are unchecked.
To remove panes from the sidebar:
1. Place the cursor over the pane tab. A delete symbol (x) displays on the tab.
2. Click the delete symbol. The tab is removed from the sidebar.
Restoring Panes to the Sidebars
When panes are restored to the sidebars, they are visible in the View menu and are checked.
To restore panes to the sidebar:
1. Select View from the menu.
