If you're like most Notes users, the Notes client becomes the center of your world during the work day. You open emails, open applications, create new documents, send and receive meeting invitations, If you're working on multiple projects, multiple tasks, and multiple fire drills, you may forget to close out a tab here or there. In the end, the top of your Notes interface gets pretty crowded with open tabs:
As you open more tabs, you end up spilling over into the overflow tab
The Notes 8 client, offers a way to clean up your desktop and help keep you organized. Notes 8 allows you to group documents from each applications under a single tab. So, all your open emails appear under the email tab, all your open calendar items are under the calendar tab, etc. Your multitasking may keep you busy but Notes 8 helps keep you organized. Your desktop will look clean and neat as shown below:
The number next to the name of the application shows the number of open documents. By clicking on the number, a drop down list of the open documents appears, allowing you to choose the desired document from the list.
To group documents by application, simply launch the Notes 8 "Preferences" control panel and click on "Windows and Themes". Select "Group documents from each application on a tab". You could also decide to have every open document launch in its own window, allowing you to use the Alt-Tab key combination to cycle through open documents.
