Almost any window on the desktop version has its own property and in that windows property you can make it a default or save a copy of it. This window allows you to manage these windows and even rename them to your own unique name, and it stores them in the window manager. This is a useful tool if you are low on screen real estate.
To open select Window Management from the Main window’s
New Item Menu.
Whenever you click save as a default or save copy in your windows properties it gets stored here, and you can toggle between default and saved.
Default Tab
While in the defaults tab if you Left clicking on the check box in the default area will disable the use of your default window. This is helpful if you wanted to create a new window independent of your default.
If you left click on an icon in the open new value area it will bring up a contract picker and allow you to pull up a new market using that default.
When you click on the add window tab it will bring up a list of all windows currently on your layout. You can click the plus to the left of the heading to see a list of those windows, left clicking on the contract you select will add it to the list as a copy. This is important because this ladder had changes made to it that are not on my main default window, so when I selected that window before clicking OK I gave it a unique name so I know what is different on that window.
You will notice after changing the name it has added my new default window to my list. Now if I want I can click the icon for that window and it will allow me to add a contract window for any contract I choose with different default settings.
Saved Tab
When in the property of a specific market if you click save copy it will be stored here. It is similar to the defaults as it allows you to edit the names of the window and select any window you want on your layout to store it here. This is different in that if you click the icon in the open new field it will bring up that exact contract you saved.
