Working with multiple display panels
It is possible to deploy several displays arranged in separate panels in a single window. Multiple panels are useful when you want to view multiple displays from a top level entry point or if you need to include a navigation panel. To define a window with multiple display panels, create an XML file, a panels-configuration file, that specifies a panel layout for a deployed dashboard.
You can supply the location of the panels-configuration file to the Deployment Configuration Editor (see
Using the Deployment Configuration editor) or to the Dashboard Viewer executable by using the
-C or
--panelConfig option (see
Startup Options for the Dashboard Viewer).
The name of a panels-configuration file must have the .ini extension. By default, the Display Viewer looks for the PANELS.ini file in the current directory. If a panels-configuration file is not found in the current directory, the display server and Display Viewer look for it in the lib directory of your Apama installation directory.
