Hello Support, I just spent 4 hours working on new instances. And some of them are now gone. Some of the instances were renamed. And, I would like to know where they might be to open them? Renaming Instances Would you please clarify, how to open multiple instances once they are renamed? There is only an example of 1,2,3,4 This does not work. What is the process/syntax to load renamed instances on start up? Are these permanently deleted and gone? What exactly should the settings be to load the RENAMED INSTANCES? And how should they be listed when there is only an example of 1 2 3 4 ? Thank You ======================== Use Symbol Settings in New Instances when Started (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> New Instances) [Link] - [Top] When this option is set to Yes, then when File >> New Instance is used to start a new instance of Sierra Chart, then the Global Symbol Settings from the main instance the new instance is started from, are copied to the new instance. The new instance then uses these Symbol Settings. This is useful to make sure the customized settings you have set in the main instance are used by all of the sub instances. It is important to understand that when this option is enabled, you must not make changes to Symbol Settings within sub instances started with File >> New Instance. Otherwise, when those sub instances are restarted, those Symbol Settings changes or custom symbols added, will then be lost and overwritten with the main instance Symbol Settings. Always Copy Configuration Files to New Instances When Started (Global Settings >> General Settings >> General >> New Instances) [Link] - [Top] When this option is set to Yes, then all of the global configuration files from the main instance of Sierra Chart are copied to a sub instance every time the sub instance is started with File >> New Instance. This ensures that the Global Settings within the main instance, are always applied to the sub instance. However, any changes to Global settings within a sub instance will be lost when it is closed and started again with File >> New Instance or is automatically run on startup. Global configuration files do not include Chartbooks, Study Collections, Trade Window configurations or Spreadsheets. When this option is set to No, then each individual sub instance started with File >> New Instance will have a configuration which matches the main instance, the first time that instance is created. Thereafter, any changes to that particular sub instance global settings, will remain with that instance only and be different and independent from the main instance. |
