Working with Detail Windows
When additional details about an item are necessary, rather than clutter the main work area, the application will often use subordinate tabbed panels called detail windows. Detail windows supplement their parent pages with related data and often include their own toolbars. These special windows allow you to:
- minimize them to a series of tabs
- float, drag and drop, and freely resize them
- tile them, or align them as overlapping tabs
- dock or pin them (when docked, allowable placement includes bottom, left, and right of the current work area)
When you customize the detail windows on the EPS, Activities, or Assignments pages, P6 prompts you to save the settings with the current view.
Note: Visual clues guide you when docking floating panels. As you click the titlebar and drag it within the work area, a gray rectangular outline indicates the panel will "snap to" this available location.
