panel, and establish their hierarchy.

Home View Tab
The options in the Home View tab enable you to customize the layout and display settings of the soft panel when it

display icons and labels or just labels, and customize the properties of each drawer and window.
Elements of an Ultritouch Soft Panel
To control an Ultrix router via Ultritouch, load a saved soft panel using the Ultritouch > All Connections interface.
Loading a soft panel to Ultritouch requires a similar method as loading a soft panel in the Ultrix and/or Ultricore
menu system. You select the device in the Ultritouch > All Connections interface, navigate to the specific soft panel
you wish to load, and select it from the provided list. Soft panels are listed in a hierarchy as determined by their
Panel ID.
The layout of the soft panel depends on how it was configured in the Ultrix Panel Editor. The order of the
windows in the soft panel is determined using the options in the Home View tab. Refer to the section “Defining
the Home Page of the Soft Panel” on page 28 for details.
