The windowing system in the CommonPoint application system centers around the concept of a window group . A window group is a collection of windows associated with the same document or container. For example, when the user is writing a memo, there might be several windows open at the same time:

These windows form a window group associated with the memo. Each group can have only one primary window. In the CommonPoint application system, you can have several window groups open at one time. However, only one group at a time is active: the group that the user is currently working with.

NOTE A slight change in window shading distinguishes inactive windows in the active group from inactive windows outside the active group.
