Disclaimer - I have never used multi-monitor setup (so completely ignorant here...)
- Can I spread the one instance of IQ over two monitors? e.g. have properties pane and Doc pane on a second monitor.
- Or are there other good options e.g. same database opened in a different IQ instance on each monitor?
EDIT// this second question seems to be answered here Can opening 2 instances of IQ loading the same DB eventually increase the risk of Data corruption ?
(did do a search but found nothing relevant)
TIA, Tom
How do I ?

Yes! Daily I manually drag one instance of IQ over two 27" monitors side by side. Note that I don't detach doc panes anymore as I had some stability issues I never could pinpoint when panes were on other monitors (I have 5 monitors).
I have used the powertoys fancyzones in the past to define areas and it did work well . I believe fancyzones didn't work when I was experimenting with IQ as admin (which I no longer do). I may turn fancyzones back on, as it was handy for defining an area for IQ then snapping it into that area.
My (imho awesome) current layout: first monitor shows navbar, then tags pane, then the grid.
Second monitor (to the right) shows the more info pane on top of a detached grid, then the properties pane, then the doc pane and finally another doc pane.

Might I trouble you for a graphic showing the layout you described across multi-monitors.
Thanks.

Have you considered creating one or more dashboards to show multiple grids in a single tab, and why not a Doc pane pane specific to that dashboard?
Just an idea...

p.s. In the next few weeks, I'll keep my Doc pane floating to hopefully run into the issues you ran into (and fix them)
Thanks for the idea. I'll…
Thanks for the idea. I'll have to try dashboards again; I know I used them heavily in the past. Did the doc pane specific o a grid/UI ever get in the documentation?
