Sidebar Portal
The sidebar is a special portal that always appears on the desktop. Its zones contain tools and data that are useful regardless of the object being displayed.
Minimize the sidebar. You can minimize the sidebar by clicking on the vertical bar between the sidebar and the object display area. This causes the sidebar portal to disappear and displays a single vertical sidebar bar, allowing more of the page area to display. It also suppresses the refresh of the zones within the sidebar based on updates to the context. Clicking the sidebar bar restores the display of the sidebar portal. Maximizing the sidebar then refreshes the zones with the latest appropriate content.
Minimize the sidebar when launching the system. If desired, a URL parameter may be used to minimize the sidebar when launching the system, using the parameter minSidebar=true. Refer to Creating Application Links in External Applications for more information and examples.
Adjusting the sidebar width. You can adjust the width of the sidebar by moving the slider that separates the sidebar from the object display area. This also updates your user preferences with the new width.
