Using Ignition 7.9.1.

I have a user who likes to open multiple copies of the same Ignition application on the same computer with the same user credentials in a database managed user system.

This application utilizes client tags for some table filtering. If on their first instance, they use a client tag to indicate one filter, their second instance of the application will not filter, as it has it’s own set of client tags correct? Clients are tag

Right now we have some bugs and I just want to be sure this is not causing our issue. Client tags are tied to the application instance, not the user, correct?
