By saving terminal sessions you use regularly to a layout, you can open them all at once, arranged as you prefer, just by opening the layout.
NOTE:If you already have terminal session or Web session document open when you open a layout, the layout opens in a new workspace.

In the Name box, type in the name that you want to appear on the tab, and then click OK.
Carefully arrange all the session windows until you have set everything up just the way you want it.
