Docking one or more explorers

When you dock an explorer, it remains in view regardless of other explorers or projects you view. Docking is useful if you work with more than one explorer regularly. You can dock more than one explorer, which causes the explorers to be stacked vertically between the Explorer toolbar and the Work pane.

About this task

When you start an explorer, you are looking at it in a sliding pane. The pane that the explorer displays in has slid over a portion of the Work pane. If you click an object or project tab in the Work pane, the explorer slide back. You can click an explorer button to get it back.

When you click the Pushpin icon and dock the explorer, you are looking at a docked pane that is now sharing the main window space with the Work pane.

If you close Rational® Synergy, then start a new session, the four explorers display in the same order. Synergy remembers your settings and shows the explorers appropriately.

Procedure

  1. In the Explorer toolbar, click the appropriate explorer button to bring it into view.

    The explorer slides into place to the right of the Explorer toolbar and over a portion of the Work pane.

  2. In the Explorer toolbar, click the Pushpin icon to dock the explorer.
  3. Repeat step 1 with a different explorer, and then dock it by clicking the Pushpin icon.
