Changing Layouts
To change the design of an existing layout, reposition the panels within the Enterprise Console as required. The following methods can be used.
Drag and Drop
It is possible to reposition each of the panels to a new location within the display window.
To use drag and drop:
1. Position the pointer over the title bar section of the panel that you wish to move.
2. Click and hold the left mouse button down and drag the panel to the desired position. A position highlighter is displayed to assist by highlighting the area to which the panel will be re-positioned.
3. Once satisfied with the position, release the mouse button. The panel is now repositioned.
Stretch and Shrink
Individual panels of the Enterprise Console can be re-sized by using the stretch technique. As a result, other panels on the display shrink to accommodate the new size.
To use stretch and shrink:
- Position the pointer over either the horizontal or vertical dividing bars between the panel. The pointer changes to a
or
Move Border shape. - Hold the left mouse button down and drag the border in the direction that you wish to resize.
- Release the button when the desired position is reached.
Maximize and Hide
Maximize and Hide functions allow you to remove or fully display single panels within the main Enterprise Console window.
To use Maximize and Hide panels:
Click
Expand on the panel title bar to maximize the view of any panel (the arrow orientation changes depending on the panel).
Click
Resize to return to the previous view.
Click
Close on the panel title bar to remove the panel from view. Use Appearance | Layouts | Default Layout from the Enterprise Console menu ribbon to return to the default display setting.
