Expand / Collapse Buttons

MeansCostWorks.com allows you to "expand" certain windows to give you a better view of the data. You can then "collapse" or minimize these windows whenever you wish.

The graphic "A" below displays the folder menu from the My Home Tab. All folder types (Personal, Shared, Archived, Recycle) are currently minimized.

Clicking the "expand" button will maximize the folder type (Personal, Recycle) as displayed in graphic "B".

: The Show/Hide Tree icon allows you to hide the Search Tree, making all windows on page wider, and show the Tree when hidden.
