Workboard Properties

This section contains properties that you can use to customize the current workboard.

Workboard size

Enables you to change the size of the workboard by specifying width and height in percentage values.

When the size is larger than 100%, the workboard will include scrollbars.

Workboard script

Click to add a script (JavaScript) that will be executed when the workboard is loaded.

Ignore incoming slicers

When the “keep slicers between workboards” option is set on for an application, slicing performed in a workboard automatically applies to other workboards the user opens. By setting the Ignore incoming slicers property to Yes, you can deactivate the between-workboards slicing option so that the slicers in one workboard will not affect other workboards.

Splitter color

You can change the color of the component borders by selecting a color from the palette.
