The Task Pane is used to perform such tasks as slicing view data, managing workboards, managing discussions, and customizing the work environment. Each type of task is performed in a different “face” of the pane that you flip open by clicking a button on the pane toolbar.
The following example shows the Task Pane being switched from Workboards to Slicers.

Showing, Hiding and Sizing the Task Pane
When the Task Pane is hidden, move the mouse pointer to the pane indicator .png){kind=small}
to slide it open.
You can pin the Task Pane using the pushpin (.png){kind=small}
when pinned) on the pane toolbar, or unpin (.png){kind=small}
when unpinned) it so the task pane automatically hides when not in use.
You can resize the Task Pane using the handle (1).png){kind=small}
on the right boundary of the pane. Drag it until the pane is the correct size.
