# Use SkedX CRM on a small laptop: the folded sidebar and side panel

> In SkedX CRM, a list such as Enquiries, Deals or a profile needs room for its columns. On a smaller screen, such as a 13-inch laptop or a Windows laptop at 125 % or 150 % scaling, the sidebar folds to its icons first, and then the side panel folds to a narrow strip with three icons: Overview, Views and Filter. The Filter icon shows how many filters are on. Pressing an icon opens the panel on that tab, and the list moves over to make room. Choosing something that changes the list, pressing Esc, or pressing ‹ folds the panel back; setting a filter value keeps it open. The › at the foot of the strip keeps the panel open, and Expand at the foot of the sidebar keeps the sidebar open; SkedX remembers both on that computer. Collapse hands the choice back. Resting the pointer on the folded sidebar opens it over the page without moving the list; Esc or moving away closes it. On a wide screen nothing folds. On a phone the panel opens as a sheet.

On a smaller screen the list keeps its columns: the sidebar and the side panel fold, one click from open.

## Step 1: See what folded

The sidebar shows its icons. The side panel is a strip with **Overview**, **Views** and **Filter**.

## Step 2: Open the panel from the strip

Press an icon on the strip. The panel opens on that tab and the list makes room. A choice, **Esc** or **‹** folds it back.

## Step 3: Keep a panel open

Press **›** to keep the side panel open, or **Expand** to keep the sidebar open. SkedX remembers it on this computer.

## Step 4: Peek at the sidebar

Rest the pointer on the folded sidebar. It opens over the page; the list does not move. Press **Expand** to keep it open.

## Common questions

### Why did my sidebar fold?

This screen is too narrow for the list’s columns with both open. The sidebar folds first, then the side panel.

### How do I get both back?

Press Expand on the sidebar and › on the strip. Press Collapse to let SkedX decide again.

### Does it fold on a big monitor?

No. On a wide screen both stay open.

### Why is it different on my other computer?

Your choice is kept on each computer, because each screen has its own room.

### Where is the strip on a phone?

A phone has no strip. The panel opens as a sheet from the button beside Filters.
