Which panels appear in the configurable area

Project admins can configure how these fields look in their projects by setting up their issue layout. When configuring your issue layout, there are three sections: description fields, context fields, and hidden fields. This section usually appears on the left side of the issue or at the top in a single-column layout. Since this is the first place users look when they open an issue, put your most important fields here.

If your layout's screen is configured with more than one tab, the other tabs will appear in this section. Only Jira admins can configure tabs project admins can't change the order of the fields displayed in the tab. Learn more about configuring a screen's tabs and fields. This section normally appears down the right side of the issue or at the bottom in a single-column layout in the Details and More fields groups.

Context fields usually contain secondary information that your team might need to sort, filter, or report on issues. Each user can customize context fields to work for them by pinning their most used ones to the top of an issue in the Pinned fields group.

Learn more about pinning fields. The context fields section has a divider you can use to sort always-important fields from sometimes -important ones. Fields above the hide when empty are shown in the Details group and those below the line are hidden under the More fields group when they don't have a value. When a field in the More fields group has a value, it moves to the Details group.

This section is for fields that you don't want to appear on the issue view at all. When configuring the layout for an issue type, drag fields to the right side of the screen and drop them in the Hidden fields section. If a group of issue types—tasks and subtasks, for example—use the same view issue screen , which they do by default, you'll configure the fields for those issue types all together as a set.

The available fields for an issue type are the ones added in the global screen configuration for viewing that issue type. It helps console users see key information at a glance. To configure a highlights panel, edit any page layout. To edit a highlights panel, hover over the panel on any page layout and click or double-click the panel.

To add or change fields, click the appropriate column and select fields from the Top Field and Bottom Field lists. If the fields you want to add aren't listed, you must first add them to the detail page layout. This allows you to more easily focus your attention on a specific design element, such as a net or a class of nets, class of components, objects targeted by a certain design rule, and so on.

The Additional Options section of the panel's View Options tab. Using Altium Documentation. Parent page: Working with Panels Display related settings are configured in the View Configuration panel. Summary The View Configuration panel is used to configure what is currently displayed in the design space and how it is displayed.

To learn more about mechanical layers, visit the Working with Mechanical Layers. Layers may be sorted by name or by number and can be defined as such in the PCB Editor — General page of the Preferences dialog.

System Colors. The System Colors section of the panel's Layers and Colors tab System Colors — use these controls to configure the color and visibility of special system display features, such as pad holes, the origin marker and DRC errors. General Settings. Custom Configurations that have been created and saved are automatically loaded and available for selection from the Configuration field's drop-down listing.

Object Visibility 2D only. The Object Visibility section of the panel's View Options tab Object Visibility — as well as controlling the display of objects in the design space by toggling layers on and off, another approach is to control the visibility and transparency of objects based on their object-type.

Visibility — control the visibility of specific object-types by clicking the appropriate visibility icon. Click the All Objects visibility icon to toggle the visibility of all objects then enable the visibility of specific object-types. Name — lists all objects that may be adjusted visually. Draft — enable to display that object type as an outline. Setting an object to transparent means you can see when one object covers another object, for example, where the end of a track segment meets a pad.

Advanced — click to open the Object Visibility dialog, where you can set a common transparency level for a particular object across different layers and set different transparencies for different objects on a specific layer. Easily restore your preferred visibility settings by creating a Custom Configuration in the General Settings region of this panel. Mechanical Layer pairs that are visible in 3D View can be configured in the Object Visibility section.

Mask and Dim Settings. The Mask and Dim Settings section of the panel's View Options tab To help manage the display of the large number of objects that can exist even in a simple PCB design, the PCB editor has the ability to fade objects that are not of interest. Dimmed Objects — objects that are currently dimmed retain their color but are faded.

Use this slider to configure how much dimmed objects are faded. Dimmed objects can be edited. Highlighted Objects — when you have Dim enabled and click on an object in a panel, for example, a net in the Nets mode of the PCB panel, that net is also highlighted as all other nets are dimmed. Highlighted objects have their color whitened to make them stand out. This slider is used to control the amount of white added to the highlighted objects.

Masked Objects — objects that are currently masked are displayed in gray and cannot be edited. Use this slider to configure how much masked objects are faded. Additional Options 2D only. The Additional Options section of the panel's View Options tab Test Points — enable this option to display additional information on pads and vias that have been configured as testpoints.

Status Info — enable this option to have summary information, such as coordinate position and layer, displayed in the Status Bar when hovering over an object in the design space. Pad Nets — enable this option to display the associated net name on a pad. Note that net names will only become visible if you are zoomed in close enough. Pad Numbers — enable this option to display pad numbers.
