**Desktops** provide a convenient way to organize charts and other panels in one window. A **Desktop** is essentially another Console window and uses the same docking framework to layout pages.

Choose *File > New > Desktop* from the Console menu bar to create a Desktop window.

Enter a unique name for the **Desktop** from the **New Desktop** dialog and click the **OK** button to create.

The follow screen shot shows the default layout for a Desktop window when it is first created. The default layout includes two pages: **Charts** and **Charts 2**.

When you close a Desktop (by clicking on the ‘X’ button in the top left corner), the group is not deleted but still exists in the repository. If you want to permanently remove a Desktop, select it in the **Manage Desktops** dialog and click on the **Delete** button.
