Workspaces Desktops can be renamed by two different methods:
no edit summary
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, click MultiCharts icon on your Windows Desktop. So, when you open a new MultiCharts instance, a new Desktop is created automatically.
<br>
=== Saving Desktops ===
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Workspaces are not saved in the Desktops. Desktops only store references to the saved Workspaces, but do not save them within the Desktop, so it is still necessary to save the Workspaces to have them opened in a Desktop.</div>
<br>
=== Opening Desktops ===
Saved Desktops can be opened by using Windows Explorer/File manager as well as from the application.
<br><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 ===
* Save a copy of the Workspace Desktop under a different name. See [[#Saving WorkspacesDesktops|Saving WorkspacesDesktops]]; or: * Use Windows Explorer or another program to rename a Workspace Desktop file as any other Windows file. <br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: Workspaces that are open cannot be renamed by Windows Explorer. Close the Workspace prior to renaming it.</div>
<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 the Workspace a Desktop file as you would any other Windows file. Deleting a Workspace Desktop does not delete the data or the studies. <div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: A Workspace that is open cannot be deleted. Close the Workspace prior to deleting it.</div> <br>=== Workspaces Preferences ===Workspaces preferences settings determine which workspaces, if any, will be opened on application startup, whether changes to workspaces will be saved on application exit, and if a confirmation prompt will appear when Chart/Scanner Windows are closed. 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.# To show the '''Workspaces''' dialog box on startup, select the '''Show the dialog''' checkbox; clear the checkbox to not display the dialog box.# Select the Workspaces to be opened on startup.# To show '''Save Workspace''' dialog box on exit, clear the '''Do not show "Save Workspace" dialog on Exit''' checkbox; select the checkbox to not display the dialog box.# Select '''Save workspaces''' or '''Do not save workspaces''' to save or not to save the workspaces on exit, respectively.# To prompt for a confirmation when a Chart/Scanner Window is closed (deleted), clear the '''Do not prompt for confirmation when I want to close a window''' checkbox; check the checkbox to prompt for a confirmation when a window is closed.
<div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">Note: A Desktop that is open cannot be deleted. Close the Desktop prior to deleting it.</div>
