==POWER USER TIP==
If you are using multiple monitors with System Five on Cloud. You may want to activate the feature of **"Tabbed MDI Mode"** from the Windows menu found inside System Five.  Once enabled, a button on the top right of the active window will appear.  This will let you **undock a window from System Five** to be placed onto another monitor.  Useful if running a report or to place a System Five tool such as inventory lookup outside of your regular day to day System Five workspace.
