Setting up views for workstations and operators
Setting up views for workstations and operators
To enable operators to do their tasks, you need to give them the iTX Desktop features they are
to use for those tasks. To do so, you:
• Create a layout view for each workstation. You may also create layout views for
individual operators.
• Create channel views and assign them to workstations. The channel views are
available to all operators at the workstation.
You do this at your system-administrator workstation.
Layout views
By "layout view", we mean the set of iTX Desktop layouts that are available to the operator
who is logged onto an iTX Desktop workstation. The operator can select any of these layouts by
clicking a layout selection button.
At any time, an iTX Desktop displays one of two layout views:
• The workstation view is the layout view you assign to the workstation.
• The user view is the personal layout view of the operator logged onto the workstation.
You may create a different workstation view for each workstation, depending on the tasks that
are to be done at that workstation. The workstation view is available to all operators.
You may give individual operators their own user views, depending on the functionality that
they need to do their jobs. Operators have access to their user views at any workstation.
Selecting the workstation view or user view
You choose which view the iTX Desktop is to display from the iTX Desktop menu. Right-click the
title bar (or a clear area of the layout) to display the menu:
The title-bar shows the names of the workstation and logged-on operator; these identify the
available views.
