Guide Section: GUI of EASAPs | EASAP Tree: USER INTERFACE Branch

A SUB PANE is a box for grouping data entry objects for organizational purposes. SUB PANE's Child data entry objects collect and display data in the EASAP's interface.

By making use of the Layout: parameter, you can create user interfaces with multiple columns on a TABBED PANE’s Input region. This approach can improve the use of space on the GUI when no diagram is present on the TABBED PANE.

Tip: A common technique is to use a SUB PANE as the main Parent for a group of Child SUB PANE's and then to set its Layout: parameter to 'GRID' and its Show Border: parameter to 'FALSE'.
