4. Display the Smart Tag by clicking the KetticPanorama control and hit the Smart Tag to popup the menu
5. Click the Edit Groups link in the Smart Tag menu to open the KetticItemCollection editor
6. Add three groups to the KetticItemCollection editor and set the Text properties to Tile, Live Tiles, and Mixed
7. Navigate to the Item property of the groups. Add KetticTileElements to the first group, add KetticListTileElements to the second group, and add the two elements to the third group. Close the item editor by click OK
8. Check the Display Groups check box in the Smart Tag menu
