Customizing the user interface

Rearrange, re-size, and show or hide views in the main application window to customize the AX Client user interface.

Rearrange the Search Results or Help view

Note

The Server Explorer, Properties, and Job Status views cannot be moved directly, however their placement does automatically adjust to accommodate movement of the Search Results and Help views.

On the title of the view you want to move, click and drag to the location you want to move it to.
When the cursor shows that the view is positioned where you want, release the view.
For more information about cursor symbols, see Cursor symbols for rearranging views.

Re-size a view

Position the mouse cursor over the line separating two views so that the double-arrow cursor is displayed, and click and drag to re-size the view.

Display a view

To display a view, do one of the following:

Select View > [View Name] to toggle the display status of a view.
If a view has a checkmark beside it (Windows XP) or the icon is highlighted (Windows 7), the view is currently being displayed. Otherwise it is not displayed on screen.
Select Help > Dynamic Help to show the Help view. Click Close on the Help tab to hide the Help view.

Restore the default layout

From the menu, select File > Restore Defaults.
