Hi, we have several Ignition clients on our system. Some clients are single screens some are multiple monitor setups. We are trying to get the Ignition client to open on the screen of our choosing. We cannot use the “Screen Index” option in the client settings because different clients will require different default monitors. I don’t want to use the open minimized and drag to desired monitor option either. Are we really only left then with a $250 third party module to accomplish opening a client in the monitor of our choosing? This seems like something that should be baked in to a modern HMI in the year 2016? Maybe I’m missing something? ---

Looks like this will be in v7.9 [http://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/forums/255378-ignition-features-and-ideas/suggestions/6509813-seamless-multi-monitor-support-runtime-clients](http://ideas.inductiveautomation.com/forums/255378-ignition-features-and-ideas/suggestions/6509813-seamless-multi-monitor-support-runtime-clients)
