Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 112)

Setting up views for workstations and operators
Registering of workstations and operators before the assigning of layout
views
Workstations and operators, when they are first registered with the security system of the
System Service, have blank layout views.
• The registering of a workstation happens automatically the first time you start the iTX
Desktop at that workstation.
• The registering of operators requires the Security Tool. More details , page 81.
Once workstations and operators are registered in the iTX system, you can assign layout views
to them. At any time, you may modify a view by adding, removing or re-ordering layouts.
Layouts available for layout views
During the installation of the Media Watcher, the installer places a set of iTX layouts in the
Media Watcher program folder. When the Media Watcher starts, it registers the layouts and
stores them in the System Database.
The layouts are registered as global layouts. This means you can include them in layout views at
any iTX Desktop workstation, as this illustration shows:
You set up workstation views and user views based on these global layouts.
In the System Database, the layouts are organised in a structure that can be represented by a
folder tree:
All the global layouts are stored in sub-folders in a Templates folder.
There are multiple copies of the main layouts at different screen resolutions. The names of the
folders that contain them indicate the screen resolutions (1280x1024, etc.).
Layouts with the same features have the same name in the different folders; for example, there
is a layout called Channel Control in each folder.
