Customizing the K2 Dyno PA user interface

The K2 Dyno PA interface is based on the standard Microsoft Dockable Windows
user interface. The Asset List pane is fixed; it cannot be moved or closed. However,
you can arrange the other panes around it, which effectively moves the Asset List pane
in relation to the other panes.

Any changes made to your layout are automatically saved when you log out of the
Dyno PA application. The layout information is saved by the Dyno Production Assistant
platform service, so your customized layout can be accessed, if you log into Dyno PA
with the same username and password, from any Dyno PA client that shares that
particular platform service.

1. To close or hide/unhide a pane in Dyno PA, you can do the following:

To hide a pane, click the

Thumbtack

button . A hidden pane remains off to

the side, with only its title visible. This allows you to customize the interface
for a particular workflow. For example, you could close down some panes so
that you can view more assets at one time in the Asset List pane.

To display a hidden pane briefly, hover the mouse over the pane title.

To unhide the pane, hover the mouse over the pane title and then click the

Thumbtack

button.

To close the pane click the X in the upper-right corner of the pane.

To open the pane up again, right-click on the title of another pane and select
the closed pane from the list of panes .

2. To move a pane around in Dyno PA, you can do the following:

To open a pane as a separate window, double click the pane status bar. To restore
a pane to its previous location, double click the pane status bar again.

To drag a pane from one location to another in the user interface:

a) Click the status bar and hold the mouse button down.

While the mouse button is being held down, a cursor appears and direction
arrows are displayed in the center of the user interface and on each side of
the screen.

b) Drag the cursor until it is over the arrow where you want the pane to be placed.
c) Release the mouse button.

The pane appears in the new location.
