The table below provides basic instructions for managing windows in the content area (see General Screen Layout).

Please note that you can select to view multiple windows or a single window in the content area using My Profile > My Preferences. To view multiple windows in the content area, select the checkbox for Multiple Windows under My Preferences.

Action | Purpose | Option(s)
Minimize | Minimizing a window temporarily hides it from view without closing it | Use the minimize icon on the window's taskbar or right-click and select Minimize.
Maximize | Maximizing a window will fill the entire content area with that window | Use the maximize icon on the window's taskbar or right-click and select Maximize.
Restore | Restores a window that has been minimized | Use the restore icon on the window's taskbar or right-click and select Restore.
Close | Close a window | Use the close icon or right-click and select Close.
Tile | Tiling allows multiple windows to be viewed at once in the content area NOTE: Tile + Fill tiles the windows in such a way that the entire content area is filled. | Right-click and select Tile.
Cascade | When you have multiple windows open, you may want to arrange them such that you can see all or part of each window. Cascading the windows stacks them so that each window's title bar is visible. | Right-click and select Cascade.
