Pane Positioning and Control
The Sodera window Wired Devices, Security, Private Keys, Piconet View, and Event Log panes can be customized to suit the user's requirements. At the top of each pane, on the right, is a set of pane positioning controls.
- Clicking on Close
will close the pane. Once the pane is closed, it can be displayed again by selecting the pane in the View menu. -
Clicking on Auto Hide
will pin the pane to the right border as a tab. The title of the hidden/pinned pane will appear at the border. 
Hovering over the hidden pane title will expand the pane and the Auto Hide icon appears rotated
. Clicking on the Auto Hide will unhide or unpin the pane. -
Clicking on Window Position
opens a menu of positioning options. The currently selected option is shown with a check mark. Right-clicking in the pane header will also bring up the Window Position menu.
- Floating: The pane operates as an independent window on the screen allowing it to be positioned anywhere on the screen. Once the pane is floating it can be repositioned within the boundaries of the Sodera datasource window using Positioning by Cursor, below.
- Tabbed Document: A tab for the pane is created adjacent to the Wireless Devices tab.
- Docking: The pane is positioned to its last docked position. A new docked position can be selected by using Positioning by Cursor, below.
- Auto Hide: Operates the same as Auto Hide discussed above, collapsing the pane and docking.
- Hide: Operates the same as Close discussed above.
- You can repeat this process with other panes open and the control will highlight the available area
Positioning by Cursor
Changing the size of pane
To change the size of a pane, position the cursor on an edge of the pane (the cursor will change to a two-way arrow), left-click, hold, and drag the pane to the desired size. Release the mouse button.
If the pane is floating, the cursor can also be positioned on a corner of the pane, which permits two-way resizing.
Changing the position of a pane
Positioning by Cursor
This pane positioning method works whether the pane is docked or floating.
Position the cursor on the title bar of the pane. Left-click, hold, and start dragging the pane. Eight positioning controls (each with its own arrow) will appear at various locations on the main window. Drag the pane such that the mouse cursor is positioned on the desired positioning control. The positioning control will turn blue and the new position of the pane will be indicated in blue. Release the mouse button. The pane will move to the new position.
Creating a tabbed pane
Position Control for Setting Tabbed Security Pane
Move the cursor until the middle position indicator turns blue and release the mouse key. The pane will appear as a tab at the bottom of the target pane.
Changing the position of a tabbed pane
This is the same as changing the position of a non-tabbed pane except that the cursor is positioned on the tab itself, not the title bar.
To set a tabbed pane to full view left-click and drag the tab outside the target pane. The cursor positioning control will appear. Position the pane using the positioning control and release the mouse key.
Using the View Menu
The Sodera window View menu can be used to close or open the panes.
