Abstract

A method for generating a flexible display field on a monitor includes providing a display field with a main window, into which a plurality of information windows are incorporatable and which has a basic grid with a regular raster, allocating individual grid fields to a respective information window for displaying in an assigned grid field, setting a grid stage of a basic field via a central first user control device for the main window, switching the main window between a regular grid occupancy in which a size of each incorporated information window corresponds to a size of one grid field of the basic field, and an irregular grid occupancy in which a size of at least one information window corresponds to a size of an integral multiple of one grid field of the basic grid, and initiating a switchover of a user by a selection and a change in size of an information window and also a video management system and a software program are provided.
