Initially the Layout Editor shows a single pane. As panes are added to a layout, dividers are automatically created between adjacent panes. Dividers are one pixel thick, but can be changed by setting the divider's Thickness property . By default, the newly added pane will be one pixel less in size.
When a pane is added, the Layout Editor divides the selected pane in half regardless of whether it is variable or fixed. If the selected pane has a minimum size that is more than half its current size, then the selected pane will be set to its minimum size and the new pane will take the remaining available size.
To add a pane to a fixed layout
-
Open a layout from the Visualization folder.
The Add Pane control appears in the center of the default pane with arrows to create a new pane above, below, right, or left of the current pane.
-
Select an arrow of the Add Pane control to add a pane to the layout.
The new pane that is added is named Pane<n>, where n is a number from 1 to 50.
Note: A fixed layout supports up to a maximum of 50 panes. You will not be able to add panes beyond the 50 pane limit.
-
Select Save to save your changes to the layout.
Responsive Layout Mode
When in Responsive layout mode, just click the Add Pane button to add a new pane. Each new pane is added below the last pane added.

To add a pane to a responsive layout
-
Open a layout from the Visualization folder.
-
Switch to responsive mode by enabling the IsResponsive layout property, or by selecting the Fixed/Responsive Layout
button. The IsResponsive property is visible when layout properties are selected (click above the layout to
switch to the layout properties view).
-
Press the Add Pane button.
The new pane that is added is named Pane<n>, where n is an integer.
Note: A responsive layout does not automatically limit the number of panes you can add. However, as you add panes and content, more computer resources are consumed which can impact performance, both during configuration and at runtime.
