I am super happy with sierra chart so far. It is fast and efficient. I am getting used to it now though I had little tough time getting to know it.

I would like to know if SC can add chart layout feature. I do not know if I can add link from your competitor but that is the best way I can describe what I mean by "chart layout template".

My intention is
1. to have pages where I can have charts which I can zoom in (max out) or zoom out (minimize)
2. when I reopen my chartbook, all the layout is exactly where I wanted
3. I can have many charts in my chart book, but I have only few charts on this "layout page" which I really want to focus on.

Yes this is supported. Through Chartbooks:
Chartbooks (Workspaces)

Also refer to:
Using Chart Templates

3. Minimize the charts that you do not want to look at:
Window and CW Menus: Minimize (Window)

Or you can hide them:
Window and CW Menus: Hide Window (Window)

My request was regarding more towards tiling management. I am working with many charts and there has to be a efficient way of doing the trade workflow.

This is like i3 on linux https://i3wm.org/ or https://maxto.net on windows platform.

There are options that do some of what you are wanting. Refer to the 4 tiling options starting at the following (not the Tile as Grid in particular for custom layouts):
Window and CW Menus: Tile Horizontally (Window)

yes, there are options to do some layout. But I am looking for some extras.

I would like to have an ability to add charts to a window. Let us say I have a window opened as Window1. I can select charts from the main application to detach and send them to Window1. Then I can also use tiling options like horizontal or vertical division and *save* that layout. I can save different layouts with different configuration and I can load particular configuration based on the current needs.

This would be a huge help to all users.
