Movable Windows and Panes

The window and pane layout in the Rules Palette can be manipulated to suit individual preferences. Actions that manipulate the windows and panes of the Rules Palette are listed below.

A window is a section of the screen that segregates groups of information. One example of a window is the Search Palette window. The Search Palette window contains DataDictionary search features and Palette visual configuration tools.
