Task panes

You can use custom task panes to provide users with a custom user interface in the Excel Client or the Windows Client. For an overview of how the Axiom user interface can be customized, see About custom task panes and ribbon tabs.

This section explains how to create, edit, and delete custom task panes, and then assign them to end users. Task panes are managed using the Task Panes Library within Axiom Explorer. Task pane files display using the task pane icon .

In addition to creating your own custom task panes, you can customize the built-in task panes provided by Axiom Software, such as the Explorer task pane, the Workflow task pane, and the Process task pane. For more information, see Built-in task panes and ribbon tabs.

NOTE: It is also possible to use an Axiom form as a task pane. In this case, the Axiom form displays within the task pane area and is considered a "dialog" for behavior purposes (such as for storing and sharing "form state" values). For more information, see Using an Axiom form as a task pane.
