grandMA3 User Manual » Windows, Views, and Menus » Add Window
Version 2.1

Windows are added to the user definable areas on the screens.

The best way to add a window is by tapping inside an empty screen area. The window is added with the new window's upper left corner, where the screen is tapped.

Another option is to tap and draw a square on the empty screen to define the window size.

Tap the screen to open the Add Window pop-up:

Tap a button with the desired window to create it

Windows are divided into tabs: CommonData Pools, Presets, Pools, ToolsMore, and All. Tapping the different tabs reveals buttons with windows for each section.

Tap the desired button to create the window. This creates a new window. By default, the first stored preferences of a window are loaded. This applies to all windows except pool windows.

The pop-up's title bar has two buttons. The red Delete Screen button removes all windows from the screen.

The Configure button opens the Configure Display pop-up. This can be used to customize some settings regarding tools on the side of the display and change the size of the user area. Read more in the Configurations of Displays topic.
