When multiple Items of the same type need to be endowed with a Panel, either to display related information or to allow the end-user to effect changes to it, it is possible to create such Panels manually. However, it is much easier to have the Panels generated automatically based on Template Panels.

Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Panels (Ribbon bar)
How to automatically create a Panel for each of an Item type:
  1. Add a Template Panel to the Project.
  2. Configure the Template Panel with the content desired for each instance.
  3. Set the Template Panel's "Apply Template on" value to the Item type you want Panels to be created for.
  4. Click on "Apply Template", and confirm the prompt.
  5. Each Item of the specified type should now have an instance of the Template Panel.
