Do you want to close all other Forms before opening this Workspace?

"Close Forms not in Workspace?"

Tick this checkbox to close any open forms that are not included in the Workspace that has been set up. These will close automatically when you click your Taskpane button to open the Workspace.

If you leave this unticked, all currently open Forms will be left open, as well as the new Forms opened in the Workspace.

Specify Application Shortcuts (one per row)

Enter the Forms you would like to see in your Workspace. All currently opened forms will be placed here by default.

  • You can insert blank lines to make it easier to read if you wish.
  • Any lines that begin with a single quote will be treated as Comments and will not be used when creating the Workspace.
  • You can open multiple forms of the same type by including the tag "&forceNew=True".
