How to trick SF into booting with duplicate documents in User Preferences

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your response.

I know I can open multiple items, it just takes the SF a while to do so, and it waits for my interaction before it continues. It is more convenient to click the SF so it can open the screens I need in the background, while I mind my own business.

As for the the reason to do it in the first place: I usualy work on multiple subject matters in parallel, needing different aspects of each subject. This gives me a ‘palette’ of subjects and functionality, the duplication gives a virtual set of aspects to work on.

For example, while working on customer, sales invoice and business addres, it would take a lot of cherry picking in the column filter of ‘tables’ and ‘subject’, let alone ‘functionality’. By opening three documents of tables and subject each, I can use the combined filter on each of them. Opening the functionality screen with the same filter, and in the same order, I can easily switch from adding a column under table, add a variant under subject and generate code group under functionality to apply an updated default on that table.

Navigation is each time to the n-th tab of the filtered documents, so for each micro change I only have to remember that I am working with ‘set 2’, instead of having to look for the right record of switch filters.
