Dockers Overview

What is a Docker?
Docker windows are designed to speed work for the most common tasks. Docker
window actions can be done through the Toolbar or Main Menu, but Dockers
provide easy access. Some Dockers allow you to save settings which helps
automate repetitive tasks. Docker windows can be "docked" or attached
to different spots on the screen, or "undocked" and positioned anywhere.
They can be easily closed or minimized to save screen space when not needed.

Open Docker
Click Window, Dockers and choose View Manager. The View Manager window
will appear, attached to the right hand side of your screen. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Collapse Docker
Click on the Collapse Docker double arrows in the top left hand corner
of the Docker window. To restore the window to full size, click on the
double arrow symbol, or anywhere on the Docker window tab. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Resize Docker Window
Position your mouse over the outer edge of the Docker window. The cursor
will change to a double arrow in the right spot. Click and drag to the
desired size. Release mouse button. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Change Docking Position
Click the border of the Docker window and drag to the top or bottom of
the screen. As you are dragging the Docker, note how a gray border in
a square shape appears. Continue dragging until the outline pops into
place along the edge you wish to attach the Docker. The outline will snap
to a new shape when it is docked. Release the mouse, and the Docker is
attached to the new side. Dockers on the top or bottom edge of the screen
will be wider than long when open, and take up a lot of the workspace.

Undock Docker Window
Click and drag the Docker window to the middle of your work area. A square
outline will appear on your screen. Release your mouse where you would
like to place the Docker window. You can move the "undocked" Docker anytime
by clicking and dragging. The Docker remains in the same spot as you change
your zoom levels. You can also minimize an "undocked" Docker. |

|
|
|
|
|
Multiple Dockers
Open the Docker windows you require. Drag the Dockers to the edge you
would like them to be displayed. You can drag several Dockers into the
same space. While minimized, they do not take up much screen space. Experiment
with placing Dockers in different locations to find the best combination
for fast access to functions and reasonable workspace. |
