The configuration and persistence of panes across tabs varies to give you the maximum flexibility in customizing the information you see on each tab. The header bar of each pane contains icons and context menus that allow you to control pane attributes such as visibility, size, and floating/docked state. You can access the context menu either by clicking the down arrow or by right-clicking in the header.

Some panes—for example, the Table, Chart, Outline, and Properties panes—are defined per tab, so that changes to a pane are specific to that tab. For example, if you resize and float the Chart pane in the Parameter Set tab and then switch to the Response Surface tab in a DesignXplorer system, the Chart pane in the new tab is not resized and floated.

For more information on specific panes, see Panes within Tabs.
