Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 113)

Setting up views for workstations and operators
As well as the main layouts, there are a number of pop-up layouts – layouts that appear in front
of a main layout when they are active. These are in the Popup folder.
When you assign layouts to a view, you select only main layouts. Pop-up layouts, where they
are required, are linked to features on the main layouts when the layouts are created.
Note:
• Layouts in the Templates folder are overwritten by layouts with the same name when
you upgrade the Media Watcher. To keep edited versions of these layouts, you should
save them with different names, or in different folders, so that they are not
overwritten.
Standard layouts
In general, there are two types of standard global layout (for different user roles): system-
administrator layouts and operator layouts.
We describe the most commonly required layouts in the following tables.
System-administrator layouts
