Allowing users to access information easily: mobile-friendly
panel stacks
In addition to the standard features supported by panels in documents, you
can use the following mobile-friendly features:
• Allow users to easily switch between panels using a docked panel selector,
which appears as a selector bar at the bottom of a panel stack. See
Allowing users to easily switch between panels: docked panel selectors,
page 18.
• Allow users to switch between panels by swiping. See Allowing users to
switch panels by swiping, page 19.
• Save screen space by using an Information Window, which is a pop-up
window that can display additional details when users tap a selector in a
document or a marker in a map widget. See Providing additional
information to users: Information Windows, page 20.
• In documents for iPad, determine whether a panel stack resets to the first
panel when an attribute selector that targets the panel stack is changed.
See Resetting panel stacks when selectors are changed, page 24.

panel selectors
A docked panel selector allows users to switch between panels by tapping on
circles displayed on a selector bar that appears at the bottom of a panel stack.
