Policy Object Manager: Undocking and Docking
Whenever you open the Policy Object Manager, it is initially displayed as a pane in the lower half of the
current view to make dragging and dropping objects easier. You can “undock” this pane, making the
Policy Object Manager a separate window, you can “re-dock” the window, and you can close the pane
or window:
• To undock the Policy Object Manager from the current view in the Configuration Manager window,
click the Undock Window button in the upper right corner of the pane’s title bar.
• To put the floating window back as a pane in the Configuration Manager window, click the Dock
Frame button in the upper right corner of the Policy Object Manager window.
• To close either the pane or the floating window, click the Close button in its upper right corner.
