Panels In The Primary Window – Sandbox_2025

Panels in the Primary Window

The window consists of up to six panels , depending upon the workspace view in which you are working. The screenshot below shows the three panels in the default Map Selection view: the upper left panel, the lower left panel, and the right panel, outlined in grey.

Each panel contains one or more tabs which contain various types of information, and/or controls. You can resize panels and maximize, rearrange, and close tabs, as required.

To show a tab's contents:

Click a tab's header to bring it to the forefront of its panel. If you are finished using a tab, click the X in its upper right corner. If you want it to retain its availability, but work in another tab, click the header of the tab you want to see. It will open in the forefront of the panel and the previously opened tab will recede behind it, but remain available on your panel.

To resize a panel:

If you want to increase the prominence of a tab open on a panel, you can increase that panel's size, while decreasing the size of another panel. Place your cursor in the space between two panels that you want to resize. When the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow, drag the panel to enlarge it to the size that you require and release the mouse.

To maximize a tab:

You can also double-click a tab to maximize its display to the full screen width, hiding any other tabs. Double-click the tab again to restore it to its original size.

To move a tab:

You can move a tab to a smaller panel to free up a larger panel. Click the tab that you want to move and drag and drop it to another panel in your view. You can still use this tab and open another tab in the larger panel.

To highlight a tab:

To highlight the tab that is currently selected as shown, use the client configuration setting selectedTabPaintBorder.

To close a dialog box:

You can close a dialog box using the X in the top right-hand corner of the dialog box or by pressing Escape (you will need the following config setting to enable this: escapeClosesDialog).
