Iconography
The flexibility of these new features gives you endless options to personalize your account.
Pane Icons – Use the icons to view a pane or click and drag to move the pane to a different location.
Positioning and Sizing
Repositioning any pane is as simple as dragging the icon to the place you’d like it to be set. By default it will float without being docked. As you move the pane, you will see a Navigation Icon which can help you decide where you’d like it docked. Use the outside border to adjust the size of the pane.
Pin/Unpin – Put the pane in place and keep it open and visible. Hover over an icon to view the pane, then click the Pin Pane button 
to pin it to place. The opposite, of this is to Auto Hide or “unpin.” Unpinning or Auto Hide will allow the pane to still be accessible via the icon on the sidebar. Hover over the icon to view the pane or re-pin it.
Close – This button 
will close any open panes or widgets. You can always reopen a widget by selecting it from the Select Widgets menu. Reopen a pane by launching it from the toolbar (Example: Contacts + View Recent Contacts).
Important Notes
Saved Changes – Changes to your layout are automatically saved so the appearance of CINcompass will be exactly as you left it when you log in again. There is no need to save your layout.
Set Home – The center pane is initially occupied by the Dashboard but can be set by default to whatever you would like. Under the User Settings menu, a command to “Set Home” can be selected which will set the current center pane your default view. For example, if it’s important for you to manage the firm Events, you can set the Calendar view as your Home.
Restore Default Layout – If it is necessary to reset your custom layout to the default settings, you may accomplish that with the Restore Default Layout command, which is found under the User Settings menu. Please note: restoring the default layout will erase all customization.
