Working with a View's Panels

Views present data in panels, which are sections of the screen that load specific items, such as a database table, filter, chart, drawing, or navigation tree. Once you use the filter or selection tree panels, you may want to hide them so that more data can display. Similarly, you might want to resize the panels displaying data to better examine specific data.

To resize panels:

Click and drag the splitters between panels. You can resize both vertically and horizontally.

To hide panels:

Click on the dotted area of the splitter.

To restore panels:

Once you hide a panel, Web Central displays a small gray triangle between panels. Click on the triangle to restore the panel.
