Assigning Preset Modes to Applications The Auto Mode tab allows you to associate a specific Preset Mode with a specific application, and apply it automatically. When Auto Mode is enabled, Dell Display Manager will automatically switch to the corresponding Preset Mode whenever the associated application is activated. The Preset Mode assigned to a particular application may be the same on each connected monitor, or it can vary from one monitor to the next.

Organizing Windows with Easy Arrange Some Dell models feature Easy Arrange, which allows the selected monitor’s desktop to be organized into various predefined or custom window layouts. When Easy Arrange is enabled, windows can easily be made to reposition and resize automatically to fill specific regions within a window layout. To get started with Easy Arrange, choose a target monitor and select one of the predefined layouts. The regions for that layout will be displayed momentarily on the monitor.
