Assign Launch Panels

Performance Manager allows a panel to be activated, or launched, from an instrument within a different panel. In addition, a data item can be passed to the launched panel. This data item (the instance value) can then be used in a subsequent filtering of information displayed in the launched panel's instruments.

To assign launch panels:

1. Pull down the Edit menu, choose the Build Mode menu item and click the Enable submenu item.
2. Select the instrument that will launch a new panel.
3. Pull down the Edit menu, and choose the Assign Launch Panel... menu item.

   Performance Manager displays a Launch Panel Selection dialog as shown in the following screen:

   

   When you chose assign launch panel, the first metric field in the instrument to be assigned a launch panel will appear with a solid outline. If the instrument has more than one field that can launch panels, these appear with a dashed outline.

4. When you are satisfied with the launch panel assignment for the field and you wish to specify another field in the instrument, click Apply and select another field by clicking with MB1 within the dashed outline defining the field.
5. When you are satisfied with all the selections, click OK.
