Visualisation of estos ProCall users on the monitor.

estos ProCall users have a special role on the monitor (and in the tab Favorites). Their availability is displayed with a presence icon. Also displayed are phone number diversions and calendar entries of estos ProCall users. Further information in the segment ActiveContacts.

	Contacts from the Search tab can be moved with drag&drop from the main window into the monitor.
	Incoming calls from contacts within a group are indicated by a triple red flash if the relevant group is not visible.
	To re-order the groups it may be necessary to display the groups' title bars. This is especially the case if there are no group tabs due to the current layout.
	The current layout can be reset at any time. Switch to the settings with Advanced.
	Normally you can't generate subgroups in the monitor. To enable that feature, you have to set a new key in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\estos\UCServer\CtiMain named "MonitorUseSubgroups" of the type DWORD and set its value to '1'. If it is needed, we recommend to set this key via Group Policy.
	When using multiple monitors, the monitor can be docked on the screen between two screens. Please note, that the setting "Auto Hide" move it to the desktop edge of the monitor, because the monitor can not be hidden between the screens.
