Some views are docked to the edges of the Workspace area and will be shown regardless of which tab is selected.
Docked views can be moved and re-docked via drag & drop. Just press and hold the left mouse button on the title bar of a docked view and drop it onto one of the dock targets that are shown during the drag & drop operation.
Views that are docked to the workspace are available from the following menu commands:
The View Explorer window is a tree view list of all maps, tables, options and channel that are in the current ECU type. The View Selector allows you to select any of these view objects and add them to a tab in your workspace.
The View Selector is made up of a number main folders. These are: Categorised, Profiles, All, and User. These folders all contain the maps, tables channels etc for the current ECU, but group them in different ways.
Adding an object to the workspace using the views selector can be done either by dragging the object into the workspace or by right clicking the object and selecting display. For certain objects there are more than one option as the object can be displayed in more than one way. For example: right clicking on a map will give you the option to display as either a graph or grid.
The View Explorer may be vertically split by using the views_split_button 
button:
This splits the view so that the children of the item selected in the top tree are displayed in the bottom panel. This can make navigating the views tree easier if you expand items with a large number of children.
The Properties window displays a list of options and settings for the currently selected object in the workspace. By default it is displayed at the bottom right of the screen but if removed can be re-displayed by selecting it from the menu
The properties window will always display the properties for the last selected object in the workspace. So start by selecting the object in the workspace you want to change. This will fill the properties window with the options for that object. Then simply click on the setting you want to change and type a new value.
The property description makes up the bottom part of the properties window. It displays a brief description of the currently selected property. In the picture above a description of the Multiplier property is shown. The description section can also be re-sized by clicking and dragging the line at the top description area.

By default the ECU status window is displayed at the bottom of the screen, but can be accessed again if removed from the menu .
The status window may be suppressed from displaying automatically when connecting by setting the ‘Suppress ECU status popup’ property in the general settings ( > General) .
