Tile windows horizontally or vertically
You can tile windows horizontally or vertically by opening multiple tab groups. Tiling is useful when you are working in multiple windows and do not want to toggle back and forth between window tabs. For example, you could tile the WBS and Activities windows to simultaneously work with the open project's WBS and activity list.
When you tile horizontally, the workspace is split into top and bottom tab groups. When you tile vertically, the workspace is split into left and right tab groups. You can display as many window tabs as necessary in each tab group, but you can not display the same window tab in more than one tab group. You can create a maximum of one tab group for each main window.
Notes:
- For a tab group, only the active tab title bar appears, not a tab, when only one tab is open.
- The name of the currently active tab appears in the active tab title bar.
To tile windows:
- Open each window you want to work with.
- To create a new tab group at the bottom of the screen, ensure the tab you want to move is the currently active tab. Then choose View, Tab Groups, New Horizontal Tab Group. If multiple views are tiled horizontally, the new view appears as the last group on the bottom.
You can also create a new tab group by dragging the tab or active tab title bar to the bottom of the screen and releasing (dropping) it when you see the formation of a rectangular outline. Repeat if necessary.
- To create a new tab group at the side of the screen, ensure the tab you want to move is the currently active tab. Then choose View, Tab Groups, New Vertical Tab Group. If multiple views are tiled vertically, the new view appears as the last group on the outer-most side.
You can also create a new tab group by dragging the tab or active tab title bar to the side of the screen and releasing (dropping) it when you see the formation of a rectangular outline. Repeat if necessary.
- To move additional tabs into an existing tab group, drag the tab or active tab title bar to the targeted tab group; release (drop) it when you see the formation of an outline with a tab under the active tab title bar of the targeted tab group. Repeat if necessary.
- To remove all tab groupings and display all open tabs in one tab group, choose View, Tab Groups, Merge all Tab Groups.
Tip
- Drag the horizontal splitter bar to increase or decrease the size of the top and bottom tab groups; drag the vertical splitter bar to increase or decrease the size of the left and right tab groups.
