• Remember last visited tab pane by type: Tells the VisiBroker Console to open a node on the same type of tab (on a similar node) that was most recently viewed. For example, if the Properties tab is currently in view and you click on another node that has a Properties tab, the VisiBroker Console first displays the Properties tab for that node.
• Remember last visited tab pane by type and name: Tells the VisiBroker Console to open a node that had been expanded earlier in the VisiBroker Console session to the tab that was last in view when that node was selected.
