The following tasks are used frequently when you manage panels for your Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus systems.

You can create new panels either in the Domain Explorer or the Reference Explorer. If you are creating a panel that is going to have a frequently used configuration, we recommend that you create it in the Reference Explorer. Reference panels facilitate fast creation of plant panels by copying an existing panel configuration from the Reference Explorer to the Domain Explorer. However, if you want to create a panel that does not have a configuration that you intend to use frequently, we recommend that you create this panel in the Domain Explorer and in the <unit> where it is to be physically located. This is helpful when filtering the panels in the current <unit>.
