Workspaces can also be created by using the '''Ctrl + N''' hot key, or by selecting '''File''' in the main menu, then pointing to '''New''' and clicking '''New Workspace'''.
<br>
=== Saving Workspaces ===
A Workspace, complete with Chart/Scanner Windows and all settings, is saved as a file with '''.wsp''' extension.
To save a Workspace, click the '''Save Workspace''' http[[File://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/03_Save_WorkspaceSave_Workspace.png ]] icon on the '''Main''' toolbar.
Workspaces can also be saved by using the '''Ctrl + S''' hot key, or by selecting '''File''' in the main menu and clicking '''Save Workspace'''.
Saved Workspaces can be opened by using Windows Explorer/File manager as well as from the application.
To open a Workspace from the application, click the '''Open Workspace''' http[[File://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/02_Open_WorkspaceOpen_Workspace.png ]] icon on the Main toolbar; in the '''Open''' dialog box that appears, navigate to and select the Workspace file ('''.wsp''' extension) and click the '''Open''' button.
Workspaces can also be opened by using the '''Ctrl + O''' hot key, or by selecting '''File''' in the main menu and clicking '''Open Workspace'''.
Recently used Workspaces can be opened by clicking the down-arrow to the right of the '''Open Workspace''' http[[File://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/02_Open_WorkspaceOpen_Workspace.png ]] icon on the Main toolbar and then clicking a Workspace name, or by selecting '''File''' in the main menu, then pointing to '''Recent Workspaces''' and
clicking a Workspace name.
=== Closing Workspaces ===
To close a Workspace, click the '''Close Workspace''' http[[File://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/04_Close_WorkspaceClose_Workspace.png ]] icon on the '''Main''' toolbar.
Workspaces can also be closed by using the '''F4''' key, or by selecting '''File''' in the main menu and clicking '''Close Workspace'''.
To set workspace preferences:
# Open the '''Preferences''' window by selecting '''File''' in the main menu and then clicking '''Preferences'''; the window can also be opened by using '''ALT+F, ALT+F ''' keyboard shortcut sequence.
# Select the '''Workspaces''' tab.
# To open Workspaces on startup, select the '''Open Workspaces on Start''' checkbox; clear the checkbox to not open any Workspaces on startup.

==Understanding Desktops==
A Desktop is a set of workspaces in one MultiCharts window. If you have a multi-monitor setup, you can save MultiCharts window layout on every monitor as a desktop and then when you launch MultiCharts next time just open a bunch of desktop files (you can open multiple files at once by selecting them all and pressing Enter) to get your setup back.
It is possible to create, save, open, close, rename, and delete Desktops. Each Desktop can contain multiple Workspaces.
Names of the open Desktops are shown at the top of MultiCharts windows.
To achieve peak performance limit the number of simultaneously open Desktops to the ones you actually need.
<br>
===Creating Desktops===
To create a new Desktop, it is necessary to open a new MultiCharts instance by clicking MultiCharts icon on your Windows Desktop. So, when you open a new MultiCharts instance, a new Desktop is created automatically.
<br>
=== Saving Desktops ===
A Desktop with all the settings is saved as a file with '''.mcd''' extension.
To save a Desktop, click '''File''' in the main menu and select '''Save Desktop'''. If the Desktop has not yet been named, the '''Save As''' dialog box will appear, allowing to choose a file name for the Desktop.
In order to save an already named Desktop under a new name, select '''File''' in the main menu and click '''Save Desktop As'''.
It is necessary to save the changes of the Desktops '''manually''', as they are not saved automatically.
If any changes have been made to a Workspace of the Desktop since it was last saved, the '''Save Workspace''' dialog box will appear:
<br>- click '''Yes''' to save the changes and close the Workspace;
<br>- click '''No''' to discard the changes and close the Workspace;
<br>- click '''Cancel''' to cancel the operation and keep the Workspace open.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Workspaces are not saved in the Desktops. Desktops only store references to the list of the saved Workspaces, but do not save them within the Desktop, it is still necessary to save the Workspaces to have them opened in a Desktop.</div>
=== Opening Desktops ===
Saved Desktops can be opened by using Windows Explorer/File manager as well as from the application.
To open a Desktop from the application, click '''File''' in the main menu and select '''Open Desktop'''; in the '''Open''' dialog box that appears, navigate to and select the Desktop file ('''.mcd''' extension) and click '''Open''' button. The selected Desktop will be opened in the new MultiCharts instance.
<br>
=== Closing Desktops ===
To close a Desktop, click '''File''' in the main menu and select '''Close Desktop'''.
It is necessary to save the changes of the Desktops '''manually''' before closing of the Desktop.
If any changes have been made to a Workspace of the Desktop since it was last saved, the '''Save Workspace''' dialog box will appear:
<br>- click '''Yes''' to save the changes and close the Workspace;
<br>- click '''No''' to discard the changes and close the Workspace;
<br>- click '''Cancel''' to cancel the operation and keep the Workspace open.
<div style="background-color: #F8F6CD;">'''Important:''' <br>If both '''Do not show "Save Workspace" dialog on Exit''' checkbox and '''Do not save workspaces''' options are selected in the '''[[#Workspaces Preferences|Workspace]]''' tab of the '''Preferences''' window then no changes of the workspaces will be saved on exit!</div>
<br>
=== Renaming Desktops ===
Desktops can be renamed by two different methods:
* Save a copy of the Desktop under a different name. See [[#Saving Desktops|Saving Desktops]]; or:
* Use Windows Explorer or another program to rename a Desktop file as any other Windows file.
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Desktops that are open cannot be renamed by Windows Explorer. Close the Desktop prior to renaming it.</div>
<br>
=== Deleting Desktops ===
Use Windows Explorer or another program to delete a Desktop file as you would any other Windows file. Deleting a Desktop does not delete the data or the studies.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: A Desktop that is open cannot be deleted. Close the Desktop prior to deleting it.</div>
<br>
== Understanding Windows (Chart/Scanner) ==
Windows are saved only as a part of the Workspace that contains them.
<br>
=== Creating Windows ===
'''Toolbars''' provide convenient access to commonly used functions. These functions can also be accessed by using the menus, but the toolbars let you do it with just one click.
There are six seven toolbars: Main, Chart Analysis, Command Line, Control, Drawing, Main, Resolution and ResolutionData Playback. Any of the toolbars can be made floating, allowing them to be positioned anywhere, or hidden if they are not needed.
<br>
To redisplay a toolbar select '''View''' in the main menu, then click Toolbars''' and check the toolbar that is to be displayed.
The Resolution toolbar can also be hidden or redisplayed by clicking the '''Resolution''' http[[File://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/compression/01_ResolutionResolution_10.png ]] icon.
<br>
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Toolbars' last chosen positions are retained the next time that the application is started.</div>

Available parameters: '''dnum''', '''name''', '''df''', '''res''', '''desc''', '''from''', '''to''', '''mute''', '''bfm'''. “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .ISY and .CSY Commands|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.iind</syntaxhighlight>Inserts specific indicator to the active chart. Available parameters: '''name''', '''base''', '''bref''', '''fmt'''. “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .IIND and .ISIG Commands|below]]. In '''MultiCharts 9.1 Beta 1''' the new '''Subchart''' parameter will be introduced. It defines subchart number where the indicator will be plotted. By default, when subchart=-1 is used, a new subchart will be added at the bottom of the chart window.
* <syntaxhighlight>.isig</syntaxhighlight>Inserts specific signal to the active chart. Available parameters: '''name1''', '''name2'''. '''nameN''' (up to 99). “''','''” is the delimiter. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .IIND and .ISIG Commands|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.rld</syntaxhighlight>Reloads data on the active chart and on all charts with the same symbol. Available parameters: '''glob''', '''ResSize ResName''', '''int'''. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Parameters for .RLD Command|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.rldw</syntaxhighlight>Reloads data on all charts in the active workspace.
* <syntaxhighlight>SymName</syntaxhighlight>Changes the symbol to a specified one on the active chart. If there is no selected symbol , the symbol that is plotted on data series 1 is changed.
* <syntaxhighlight>ResSize ResName</syntaxhighlight>Changes resolution of the symbol plotted as data series 1 of the active chart to a specified one. See examples [[MultiCharts Work Area#Table of Resolutions for Command Line|below]].
* <syntaxhighlight>.at_toggle</syntaxhighlight>Turns on/off auto trading on the active chart.
* <syntaxhighlight>.shs</syntaxhighlight>Switches between different styles for Hint window.
