Panes

Panes are windows in Harmony Enterprise that contain specific groups of data. Panes include the Entity Viewer – Hierarchy pane, the Entity Viewer - Custom pane, the Clipboard, the Status Window, and all of the data windows inside the tabs. You can move panes to a variety of positions to suit your needs.

Docking functionality

When you click-and-drag the pane's title bar, the docking navigator is displayed.

Docking navigator

You can dock the pane in these positions:

  • top, bottom, left, and right of the application's window
  • in a tabbed view

To dock the pane in a tabbed view, hover over the center box and release. Note that you cannot use a tabbed view with non-docking panes.

Pane options

When you right-click the pane's title bar, you can select various options from the context menu.

Right-clicking the pane's title bar

  • Docking — returns the pane to its last-docked position.
  • You can also double-click the pane's title bar to float / dock the pane.
  • Auto Hide — moves the pane to a tabbed position on the left-side of the application.

Hidden pane

  • Hide — this option is only applicable for the Clipboard and the Status Window. If you select this option, the pane is hidden. To display a hidden pane, click the View menu and select Toolbars and Docking Windows, Clipboard or Status Window.
