In-session Settings Panel

In-Session Settings Panel

In-session settings allow the format and content of a display control to be temporarily modified. For example the date range for a chart can be altered from the default range using in-session settings.

The diagram to the left shows an in-session settings panel for a single Y-axis chart allowing a user to temporary specify the chart's date range.

>> To use a control's in-session settings:

Open or close the control's default settings panel by clicking on the expand/collapse icon.

Notes:
The expand/collapse icon usually appears in the top right corner of a control box.
The panel remains open until the control's collapse is clicked; the website remains usable whether this panel is expanded or collapsed.
However, some controls require the panel to be closed for the control's display is refreshed with the new settings.
