Starting iTX Desktops
The title bar has these features:
The layout selection bar has these features:
By clicking the layout selection buttons, you can select different layouts. From the iTX logo, on
the right, you can access the window menu; through this, you can maximise, minimise, restore
and exit the iTX Desktop.
The set of layouts represented by buttons in the layout selection bar is known as a layout view.
At any iTX Desktop workstation, two types of layout view are available: a workstation view and
a user view. More details , page 111.
The iTX Desktop opens in the workstation view. If the workstation view does not have any
layouts, the iTX Desktop opens in the user view instead (provided this view has layouts).
About the iTX Desktop at a system-administrator workstation
Before starting the iTX Desktop at a system-administrator workstation, you should ensure your
system-administrator account has the user rights of Desktop Administrator and Desktop
Author.
When you start the iTX Desktop for the first time, neither the workstation view nor the user
view has any layouts. The iTX Desktop opens in the workstation view and displays a blank
layout.
Before you can add layouts to either view, you need to switch the iTX Desktop to your user
view. In this layout view, you can put layouts in the layout-editing mode and edit them. You
cannot edit layouts in the workstation view.
In either your user view or the workstation view, you can assign channel views to workstations,
and layout views to workstations and users.
