Hello,
most of the hosts I connect have more than one screen. My viewer PC also has 3 screens. Is there a way to distribute the remote host's screens to the viewer's screens? I know that I can change the host's screens on the viewer, but on the one hand this always takes quite a long time and on the other hand parallel operation on several viewer screens would be much more pleasant. Similar to what happens with RemoteDesktop...
Many Thanks for answering

Hello Markus,
Thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, the monitor mapping between Viewer's and Host's monitors cannot be done automatically yet, even though we already have this feature in our wish-list and it will be implemented in our future updates.
However, meanwhile the monitor mapping can also be done manually. Here's what you need to do in order to map your remote monitors to the local ones:
1. In your Viewer create a few different connections to the same remote Host, i.e. using the same IP address or Internet-ID code, but name them all differently, e.g. Monitor 1, Monitor 2, etc.
2. Disable the Tabbed view mode: in the main Viewer window navigate to the Tools tab and select Options, then navigate to the Remote screen tab and disable the Tabbed view checkbox.
3. Open all connections to the remote Host you've created on Step 1.
4. Select different monitors for each connection - this can be done by clicking the Remote monitors icon on the Toolbar in the Full Control and View window.
5. Now you should be able to place the connection windows on the corresponding Viewer's monitors.
Hope that helps.
