6.4.2

WORKSPACES

Various layouts and custom monitoring options for the

Live Desktop

and

Multiviews

are provided in the

Workspace

menu.

When one or more

Multiviews

monitor is in use,

Workspace

preset options can be combined with great

flexibility, letting you see

what

you want to see

where

you want to see it.

It’s easy to set up complementary displays.

Each connected monitor, including the

Live Desktop

screen

(listed in the

Workspaces

menu as

Multiview 1

) has four unique presets, labeled A-D. (Figure 51 displays

presets A-B only due to having additional monitors connected). You can load a different viewport layout
into each of these presets, and recall them easily using this menu, or perhaps using Macros assigned to
keystrokes.

In addition, each individual viewport can be assigned to any

Switcher

input source or output using its

own context menu. So, for example, even if you initially use

Load Default

to assign identical viewport

layouts to preset A and preset B for a given screen, you can configure each viewport differently in the
two presets.

Switching between presets, then, will allow you to view different sources. Even the overlays (such as

Safe Area

display) for each viewport are fully independent.

Hint: See Section 6.4.3, The App Desktop, for information on this special, powerful Workspace option.
