Using Layouts
This section summarizes the Layout feature of the DashBoard interface. Information on creating,
saving, and managing layouts in the Device View is also included.
Overview
Layouts are used to save window configurations in your DashBoard interface. For example, you
can save a layout which shows a certain set of devices open in the Device View Area. You can
also determine how these Device Tabs are displayed (Tabbed or tiled, or in Tab Groups), and
whether any Custom Folder Tabs are included.
Layouts can also save how each component of DashBoard is displayed. For example, you can
save a layout which maximizes the DashBoard window without displaying the Basic Tree View
tab.
Each layout saves the DashBoard window state, size, and position. Note that the size and position
of any undocked tabs are not saved. When restoring layouts from the Layout List, you can toggle
whether to use the stored layout, or the current layout, of the open window with the three
right-hand buttons on the toolbar.
Layout List
The following buttons are available in the toolbar of the Layout List, from left to right:
• Save Layout — Use this button to open the Save Current Layout dialog box.
• Delete the Selected Layout — Use this button to delete the currently selected
layout in the Layout List.
• Maintain Window State — Click this button to keep the DashBoard window at its
current state when restoring a layout (maximized or sized). Click the button again to turn
off this feature.
• Maintain Window Size — Click this button to keep the DashBoard window at its
current size when restoring a layout (if not maximized). Click the button again to turn off
this feature.
• Maintain Window Position — Click this button to keep the DashBoard window
at its position on the desktop when restoring a layout. Click the button again to turn off
this feature.
