Hi forum. I have a setup in a control room with one computer connected to multiple monitors. Each monitor has its own client running with the same project. I’ve made a .bat file for opening all the clients at once. I need to have a login for the clients so I have to login on all the clients separately. Ideally I’d like to only write the login credentials once. Has anybody figured out a solution for this? ---

If you are running the same project on all monitors, consider using Vision’s multiple desktop features instead. Then it would be just one client with just one login. ---

Thanks for your reply. I’ve some others issues which makes it inconvient to use the multiple desktop feature. So I’d prefer a solution using multiple clients. ---

Do you mind sharing the issues? Perhaps this forum could help resolve those. ---

Oh, well. Pick which inconvenience is worse. I would not expect you to find any other solution. ---

Do multiple clients play nicer with inconsistent screen numbering? I would’ve thought this issue would be the same either way. ---

Only issue I recall was inconsistent placement of message boxes, which I think was fixed a while ago. ---

More of an underlying OS issue. > [@Inconsistent Screen Indexes](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/inconsistent-screen-indexes/28578): > > On Ignition 7.9.11, I’m finding the screen indexes reported by system.gui.getScreens() are inconsistent across multiple workstations. These Windows 10 workstations each have 5 monitors.
