Venkatesh,

You can always create / add a button on the tool bar (or as a part of a graphic) that will call up a specific PHV. You could even setup to call up several PHVs and place in a certain arrangement on a specific monitor (just get the vb code correct). I commonly had a button on graphics for major vessels that called up a single PHV trend preconfigured for that process equipment.

Another thing I've done in the past when operators wanted a certain set of trends up all the time and were not normally wanting to adjust time ranges or scales, was to embed ActiveX trends into a graphic. The ActiveX trend isn't as flexible as a PHV trend, but ensured the trend always defaulted to the correct pens, y-scale, and time range. It was easy to set the size and location of each trend on the graphic. It also allowed the operators to switch which monitor the view the trends on without having to move or resize windows.
