Window Arrangements

The Window menu offers commands that can be used to easily create various useful standard layouts of the EasyMap program window. These standard divisions can also be called up with certain key combinations (e.g. Ctrl+F2; see menu Window).

Customizing the EasyMap program window

Experienced users of .NET user interfaces will quickly discover further splitting possibilities of the EasyMap program window (e.g. detach and collapse the different parts of the control and table window). These possibilities can be useful, for example, if you have two monitors available and want to see the map at maximum size on one monitor, while the tables are stored on the second monitor. Due to their diversity and complexity, the extended arrangement options are not described in detail here.

If a control window has been closed, it can be opened again with the corresponding command in the Window menu. If a workbook contains a lot of sheets or a lot of tables are open, the corresponding commands in the Window menu allow you to bring a specific sheet or table to the foreground.

New arrangement of EasyMap windows

In an territory organization, it can be helpful to rearrange the existing tables so that you do not have to switch between the tables all the time.

You are also welcome to watch this process as a video.

The tables are on the right side of the screen. You can change the table by clicking on the corresponding tab (below).

To rearrange the tables, proceed as follows:

Click with linker mouse button on the tab of the table which should be rearranged (here in the example it is in the first step the table ADMs) and hold the mouse button. Drag the mouse lightly out of the table window.

Release the mouse button. The table is stored separately.

If you want to rearrange other tables, you can also remove them from the data window and store them separately.

Now the tables must be placed again. To do this, click again on the title bar of the table which you want to place in the middle (please hold the left mouse button during the process) and move the mouse to the table placed on the right again.

Drag the mouse until you cover part of the existing table with the table as shown in the graphic. If the lower part turns grey, place the table at the bottom. If the upper part turns grey, your table will be placed at the top after releasing the mouse.

Proceed with all required tables in the same form. Insert the Regions table as the last table under the other two. As a result, you have now arranged 3 tables in the table window one below the other.

Save user-defined window arrangement

EasyMap offers the possibility to place control windows and data windows freely on the screen. For example, you can move individual tables to a second screen or distribute tables to several table windows, making several tables visible at the same time. Such user-defined window arrangements can be saved and reloaded using the commands under Window Arrangements in the Window menu. This is especially useful when individual window arrangements have been created with a lot of effort and you occasionally want to switch between the user-defined window arrangement and standard arrangements. Please note that when saving user-defined window arrangements, the other properties of the table views (e.g. filters, sorting of visible and hidden columns) are also saved and can be restored accordingly.
