Any preferences that you set for a tab display remain in effect regardless if you log out of and then log back into Geneticist Assistant. You can set the preferences for any Variants pane or tab, for example, the Sample Variant Data sub-tab on the Sample tab, and then apply these same settings to all the other Variants panes and tabs in Geneticist Assistant. You can also return the tab displays to their default displays (all tab panes shown, all data columns shown, and so on) in a single step. See To apply shared preferences or to clear all tab preferences.
