Adding and Modifying Displays

When you create a new configuration, the display panel contains a blank display tab (Tab 0) with a Display Row placeholder for the first display to be added to the display tab.

Complete the following steps to add a display to a display tab on the Display Panel:

1. Click the Add Display button to show the list of displays and also open the Display Panel if it is not currently showing.
2. Click on a display and drag it onto the Display Panel.
3. Repeat to add other displays above, below, or on either side of existing displays. When the target area on the Display Panel turns green, release the mouse button to add the display. Each display is automatically resized to fit in the row.
