Hi
I have a chartbook with multiple charts (All detached windows). When I attach them via window>>Attach chart window, it creates a new tabs (1 for each chart) at the bottom.

#1 I want to customize those chart tabs(at the bottom) so that i can have some tabs with multiple existing charts with manually resized windows in One tab (not sure how to do it) and some tabs with single charts (I know how to do this).

#2 Is there a way to move chart windows from one chart tab to another chart tab within the same chartbook?
#3 Is there a way to move chart windows from one chart tab to another chart tab in another chartbook?

Thanks

Chart Windows can be reordered according to how they are listed in Window >> Windows and Chartbooks. Refer to the following:
Window, CB and CW Menus: Windows and Chartbooks (Window)

You can also reorder the tabs by selecting with your pointer and dragging.

You can copy charts to another Chartbook with the duplicate chart functionality. Not move them.

Maybe I was not clear:
Current state : ChartBook1 has chart#1, #2, #3 , #5, #13,#15, #16 ALL as detached windows

Desired result: I want CartBook1 to have following chart tabs:
Tab1 (shows at the bottom by default) has multiple charts manually resized/tiled: #1, #15, #16

Tab2 (shows at the bottom by default) has multiple charts manually resized/tiled: #2, #3

Tab3 (shows at the bottom by default) has 1 chart full screen: #5

Tab4 (shows at the bottom by default) has 1 chart full screen: #13

How can I get to desired state from Current state?
Appreciate a response. Thanks

If we are understanding this correctly, this kind of functionality does not exist. You would have to have 4 Chartbooks each with these configurations and switch among them. Refer to:
Chartbooks (Workspaces)

Or you could use sub instances:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance

Use a separate sub instance for each configuration.

Thank you for the effort. Unfortunately it does not solve the screen management issue because I should be able to seamlessly enter/exit trade from any chart within a single chartbook.
I love Sierra Charts.
Hopefully Sierra Chart team will update GUI for window management on tabs to implement this standard functionality.
This will tremendously help in executing the trades with a better view of market conditions.
