Why when i select a call or put from the options chain does order entry load from the booktrader?

Hi guys,

I'm very new to Trader Workstation and just trying to figure it all out. Could anyone explain why when i click on a bid/ask from the options chain does the order entry panel change to showing 'booktrader' in the corner? It loads the call or put but for some reason the drop down menu changes from options chain to booktrader. When i try and change it back to options chain it isn't available in the drop down list. See screenshots attached to illustrate what i mean. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Just ignore that. The pulldown menu is not showing you what it currently selected. It's showing you other windows are available.

Ok thanks very much. I'm still very new to TWS and was a little confused as i thought it was referencing where it was taking the info from, not where else was available. Appreciate the reply!
