Open Two CubeViews in Desktop at Once

This is a basic question related to cubeviews.

When I open cubeview_1, it closes cubeview_2.  When I open cubeview_2, it closes cubeview_1.

Is there a way to keep both my cubeviews open in the desktop?  This seems like a silly U/I constraint to restrict users from working with more than one cubeview at a time.  We are using Desktop v.6.5.0.12623.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, David

PS. I have lots of peeves about the U/I but this is a major one.  Others include

  • No standard ribbons, like every other windows app
  • Navigation tabs that are shown across the BOTTOM of the Window!?  Mousing around the top, left, and bottom of my screen is just bad.
  • Very low support for keyboard shortcuts. (even basic things like Ctrl+N, Ctrl+S, etc)
  • Virtually no right click (context) menus
  • etc.  None of these are rocket science, and hopefully I'm not the only one who is complaining...

Hello - if you open a new tab at the bottom and then run your CV from OnePlace it will have multiple CV's open at once.

EricOsmanski That worked.  Thanks.

 

The tabs along the bottom are pretty obscure and non-standard, together with the subtle command that is used to create a new tab.  I would probably not have found this on my own.  (On the other hand, if there was a normal command ribbon at the top of the app with a big "Create New Tab" button, that would be a whole different story!)
