Attaching and detaching panels-

Each panel has a default location. Some panels are attached by default while the others are displayed separately.
There are two main locations for all panels

• Attached – Panel is located in the workspace. Attached panels can be arranged in the tabbed areas where one or
  more panels conveniently fit under/over/beside other panels.
• Detached – Panel is located separately and can be used independently.

Linking panels-

One of the biggest advantages of the system is linking panels by clicking the symbol

By selecting the symbol in one of the panels, you can synchronize other panels in the group to display information relevant
to that symbol.

Example: When the ‘Chart panel’ is linked to the ‘Watchlist panel,’ the symbol displayed in the Chart panel will change in
accordance with the symbol selected in the Watchlist.

To link two or more panels together:

1. Click the link icon in one of the panels you wish to link.
2. From the drop-down menu, select a colour. The button changes to display the selected colour.
3. Repeat the same procedure for the other panels to be linked by selecting the same colour.

Users can also link one panel to all others by selecting ‘ALL.’ It means that changes from any panel will be applied to
current one. To unlink a panel from a group, click the panel's link icon and select NONE.
