Managing Dockable Windows

Every window in Iotellect Client has a title bar that provides some information about the window, and can be docked or floating. The bar has several buttons:

Some windows may not have all these operations available.

Many operations allow to specify location their data window(s) as a parameter and store it on the server. See details in Window Location section.

Every window can be dragged by its title bar and dropped in any of the following positions:

• As a dockable window that is docked to other windows
• As a floating window that "floats" over other windows
• As a side bar window that normally appears as an icon in the corner of the client frame, but can be expanded when the icon is clicked (or on mouse-over).
• As a new tab for a tabbed windows. This happens when you drop a window directly on top of another window.
• And of course, many windows (like the System Tree window, or Event Log windows) may be also hidden (closed) and later restored using the corresponding Main Menu items.

The window's default appearance is similar to this:

This is what it looks like when the windows have been undocked and dropped onto one another, to create a floating tabbed pane. Note the tabs at the bottom:

And this is what it looks like when the windows have been undocked and are used as floating mini-windows in cascaded form:

If you've played around too much and now your layout is messy, you can always reset it using the main menu.
