The lay-out of the panes is set in the pattern shown above whenever the application is run. However, individual panes may be re-sized, and/or undocked (allowed) to "float" if that is desired.
The next step in running the application is to load the HL7 vocabulary from a Design Repository. (See Database tab, above.
