Panel Sets

The panel sets feature allows you to create specialized sets of items and panels which you can switch between instantly. You could create one panel set for business applications and another panel set for graphics work. The menu item “Station > Panel Sets” is the main entry point for managing panel sets.

The submenu “Station > Panel Sets” contains a list of panel sets from which you can choose.

You can rearrange the order of the panel sets by drag and dropping them to a new location in the list. This order is reflected in the "Panel Sets" menu.

Populating a Panel Set

After creating a panel set, you may wish to populate the new panel set with items from an existing panel set and then customize it from that point. Do the following steps to populate a panel set.

1) Make the panel set you want to populate the active panel set.

2) Select the source panel set from the menu item “Station > Panel Sets > Populate Panel Set With Items From..."

3) A dialog will appear asking if you want to populate the current panel set with items from the source panel set in step 2.

When you populate a panel set, it will remove all the items from the active panel set and then copy over the new items from the source panel set.

When you populate a panel set, Station will create a snapshot before it populates the panel set.
