QuickBooks 2018 Desktop: Multi-monitor Support

by

I know what you're thinking. If you have had multiple monitors in the past, you probably could spread out the entire QuickBooks Desktop application across those monitors or assign QuickBooks to the specific monitor you wanted to use, right? So you're wondering how this new Multi-monitor Support is any different? How does tremendously sound? 

How would you like to open your check register in one window and have it displayed on one monitor? Then, open the reconcile feature in a window that you drag onto a second monitor? And finally open a specific transaction you're reviewing for reconciliation purposes and put that transaction on a third monitor?

With this new feature, you'll get more done in the way that best fits your monitor configuration and personal workflow. With multi-monitor support, you can actually move a QuickBooks Windows to a different monitor than the monitor where the resident QuickBooks application was being displayed. 

To set-up multiple monitor support within QuickBooks Desktop 20181, simply go to the View menu and then select "Switch to Multi-monitor Mode."

Believe me, you'll be glad you did.
