tile / cascading tables view?

[Greg]

I like the tabbed browsing but...

... sometimes I want to see two tables at the same time

is there a way to tile my open tables?

or to undock them from the top bar?

[Greg]

and what exactly does clicking on "new horizontal (/veritcal) tab group" do?

Hi Greg, thanks for your questions:

...sometimes I want to see two tables at the same time

If you have two tables open (or two tabs or any kind -- whether web pages, reports, queries, etc.) you can view multiple tables at once by simply dragging a tab to the location you want it to appear. So, if you wanted to tile horizontally, you would drag the tab to the bottom of the page and a light blue "drop" box will appear. Release the tab and now you will see both tables at once. You can do this vertically as well by just dragging the tab to the far right or left. Also, if you take a look at the screencast (http://www.kirix.com/screencast) you can see how the tabs can be tiled around the screen.

There is no "cascading" or "undocking" of tabs per se, but the ability to drag tabs into new groups effectively provide this functionality.

and what exactly does clicking on "new horizontal (/vertical) tab group" do?

If you have more than one tab open, you can select Tab/Horizontal Group from the View menu to automatically move the tab to a new horizontal row. Basically, it is just a "keyboard" way of doing the dragging talked about above.
