[You can only set via px.](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/views-in-perspective/docked-views#docked-view-properties) Instead maybe use a Flex Container and have an embedded view display toggle via some action? You can use a % basis with a [Flex Container](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-container-palette/perspective-flex-container).

That is how I was doing it before but I was hoping to use the docking fetcher that is built into it so are users can close on open are right tab at will with the handle that is built in but I guess I can probably build the same functionality my self. Thanks for the information.

If there was even a way to add an expression then there could be some way to add responsiveness with code.
