I’m new to ignition. I want to make a main window which displays several other main windows, could one help me solve the problem or give me some suggestions?  
It looks like as below:

I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to achieve here. If you could give more detail we could probably help you find a solution.

On the face of it it looks like you’re using Vision. It’s not possible to embed windows inside other windows with Vision, but you could do this using templates.

Yeah, the solution here is probably to use template to build your “windows”, then use a template canvas or repeater to embed them onto a single, actual window.

Thank you all, I can use several templates to embed them onto a window.
