    Just above the Resources area is a space where any pinned Logistics functions display (pinned items serve as shortcuts to a function). You can pin or unpin a Logistics function by selecting the pushpin icon next to the function on the left side of the Logistics main window. The following illustrations show three pinned functions and how the pinned functions are displayed in the Home window under the Logistics button.
