Window Location

Window Location settings allow to specify where a window is located in the user interface.

Window location comprises the following information:

• Dock state (Docked, Floating, Side Bar Icon, Side Bar)
• Dock side (Top, Left, Bottom, Right)
• Dock index
• Width and height
• Position control flags

System operators can move/dock/resize windows and their state/location is stored within the Iotellect Client workspace. Thus, if a certain window is opening for the second time, it will in most cases preserve the previous location parameters.

Combination of State, Side and Index parameters specify window location within the dashboard.

The following table shows how do these parameters work together for a dockable dashboard:

For a scrollable dashboard, State and Side parameters are ignored, while Index parameter defines the zero-based index of column to add the window to. In each column, windows appear in the same order as in the Dashboard Elements table.

If Width and/or Height are specified, they are processed as follows:

• If window is docked, the docking window manager does its best to match preferred sizes of all windows. The window will not have exactly the size specified by Width/Height parameters.
• If window is located in the side bar, it will adhere the Width if put to a left/right size bar, and it will adhere the Height if put to a top/bottom size bar.
• If window is floating, it will have size specified by Width/Height parameters.

Window location includes the following additional position/size control flags:

• Resizing Allowed
• Closing Allowed
• Docking Allowed
• Floating Allowed
• Maximizing Allowed
• Side Bar Docking Allowed

This flag controls whether a window title bar will be visible. If it's not shown, all window position control buttons will not be available.

Key parameter is used to control a unique name of the window (window key). Window key can be used to refer the window from other parts of the user interface.
