2.1.3 Changing the Pane Layout of System Manager

 You want to adjust or customize the arrangement of the panes in the System

Manager window.

1. In the System Manager window header, if the lock pane layout icon is active

(undimmed), click it so that it becomes dimmed. Otherwise the pane layout

cannot be changed.

2. To switch between the available preset layouts, click the icons in the title bar:

– : Selection, Primary, and Contextual panes. Secondary pane will open

when required.

– : Selection and Primary pane, and the left part of the Contextual pane.

– : Selection and Primary pane.

– : Primary and Contextual pane. Secondary pane will open when

required.

– : Primary pane only.

NOTE: Even if the selected layout includes the Secondary pane, the

Secondary pane only displays when you make a selection that requires it,

and provided the Primary pane is not locked. See Allowing or Preventing

Opening of the Secondary Pane [➙ 36].

3. To resize the panes in the current layout, drag the splitter (the dividing line)

between them.

4. To expand/collapse a pane, click the button on the splitter. (Click the

button again to re-expand a collapsed pane).

5. To close the Secondary pane, click Close in its pane header.

6. To prevent the current layout from being changed, click the lock pane layout

icon in the title bar (so that it is undimmed). This disables the function that lets

you switch between the preset layouts so that panes can no longer be resized,

expanded, collapsed, or closed.
