Opening linked charts

I have several chartbooks that each contain 4 or more time frames, each for a different symbol and each symbol and multiple time frames are linked together with links 1-4. When switching pairs in the chartbook I have only found the method of opening up each time frame one at a time i.e. 5 min, 15 min 30 min & 60 min. I don't suppose there is a feature that would allow me to open up all the linked symbols with the 4 time frames with just one click somewhere in MDI tabs? Or anywhere else on the chartbook? I know it doesn't seem like much more effort to open each chart separately but it is more about saving the time where when evaluating a trade and seconds might make a difference. Anyway I have attached the chartbook with convenient arrows to show the different linked symbols and the different time frames. Thanks again for your help, even on a topic as mundane as this.

BTW did you ever fix the problem with opening a chartbook group without closing existing chartbooks? The check box under Global Settings>General Settings>General 2 was having no effect in previous versions as you mentioned in a previous post. I think you said "The option was never implemented ever. It existed but it did nothing". I haven't upgraded to a new version and was wondering if that had been fixed as I use multiple chartbook groups with Green Charts.

Thanks again and I hope you are all well and staying safe in this crazy new world.

Our recommendation would be to just have different Chartbooks for each symbol. Then you would just select the Chartbook and you would have the layout as you want to see it. We notice you already have a large number of Chartbooks, therefore you may also want to consider using Multiple Instances. Refer to the information here:
Using DTC Server for Data and Trading in Another Sierra Chart Instance

The option to not close open Chartbooks when a Chartbook Group is loaded is functional now. Update to the current version:
Software Download: Fast Update

Refer to the information here:
General Settings Window: Close Existing Chartbooks When Open Chartbook Group (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Charts >> Chartbooks)
