I have configured a shared-settings left-side menu view, and I’m able to navigate to another view.  
In that view’s page configuration, I have added another left docked view.  
But in the client, both docked views are **not** visible at the same time.

Is there any way to control the visibility so that **both** docked views are shown?

I have configured it like this:

Has anyone completed or tried this before? Please share your ideas, it will be helpful for me.

I have no experience with showing both docked views at the same side _and_ at the same time, but it is possible to hook multiple docked views at one side, with the option to show either one.

If you set both Handle settings to Show. you will get two arrows to open up the docked view. This way, you do give the user the option to open both docked views.  
(I have display set to visible, and content to push, but i don’t think those influence the effect described above)

_The image shows both arrows to open each docked view._

You can’t show multiple at once. Docks are one at a time only.

You have a global docked view, and are looking at a page-specific URL and adding a "menu" docked view.

Instead, go to the underlying primary view of the page, and make a new view with a split container layout. Copy the current components into one side, and the "menu" components into the other side. Set the split to the % that it feels like a Dock, and then make the handle 1px.

In situations like this you can use a Split to feel like an additional layer of same-side docking.
