The term "Split-Screen" refers to a feature that divides the display into two or more separate sections, allowing multiple contents to be shown and worked on simultaneously. This functionality is particularly used in software solutions where parallel information display, comparison, or multitasking is required - such as in ERP systems, document management tools, development environments, or business intelligence applications.
Parallel Module Display: Displaying, for example, customer information on one side and order processes on the other within the same application.
Drag & Drop Between Sections: Easily moving files, information, or objects from one screen area to another.
Synchronized Scrolling: Scrolling both sections simultaneously to compare texts or data series.
Customizable Screen Layout: Users can flexibly define the size and arrangement of the split areas.
Split-Screen Comparison View: Displaying two document versions, data views, or dashboards side by side.
Multifunctional Editing: Simultaneous editing of, for example, source code and preview (e.g., in a development environment or CMS).
Contextual Navigation: Selecting an item in one area updates the content in the other (e.g., list view and detail view).
An ERP system displays customer data on the left and open invoices on the right to speed up inquiry processing.
A document management system allows two contracts to be viewed side by side for version comparison.
A developer edits source code on the left and sees the live preview on the right.
A BI tool displays raw data on one side and its corresponding analysis or visualization on the other.
A support agent views customer history in one pane and the current ticketing system in the other.
