Moving and merging panes

The PReS Connect interface for both the Designer and DataMapper module is highly configurable. Each panel in the application can be moved, with the exception of the The Data Viewer andWorkspace which area always in a static location. All panels can be minimized or maximized.

To move a panel:

  1. Click and hold the left mouse button on the panel title (tab) to move and keep the button pressed.

  2. Start moving the mouse to the new location. A grey outline shows where the tab will show up:

    • A small grey outline next to a current panel tab indicates that both tabs will be at the same location and only the active tab will display its content.

    • At larger grey outline at one of the edges of the Workspace or Data Viewer indicates that the separate will be separate and always visible.

  3. When the grey outline displays the location where the panel should be, release the mouse button.

To minimize a panel:

  • Click the Minimize panel button at the top-right corner of the panel.

A minimized panel displays only as its icon wherever it was docked, generally on the left or right side, or the bottom.

To restore a minimized or maximized panel:

  • Click the Restore button next to the panel's display icon.

The restored panel will return to its original docked location.

To temporarily display a minimized panel:

  • Click the panel's display icon.

When another panel, menu or toolbar is clicked, the panel will be minimized again.

To maximize a panel:

  • Click the Maximize button at the top-right corner of the panel.

A maximized panel takes the full available size for the panels. All other panels are minimized.
