Customizing Fields in the Summary Pane

You can modify the Summary Pane in Frame Display.

Summary pane columns can be reordered by dragging any column to a different position.

Fields from the Decode pane can be added to the summary pane by dragging any Decodepane field to the desired location in the summary pane header. If the new field is from a different layer than the summary pane a plus sign (+) is prepended to the field name and the layer name is added in parentheses. The same field can be added more than once if desired, thus making it possible to put the same field at the front and back (for example) of a long header line so that the field is visible regardless of where the header is scrolled to.

An added field can be removed from the Summary pane by selecting Remove New Column from the right-click menu.

The default column layout (both membership and order) can be restored by selecting Restore Default Columns from the Format or right-click menus.
