Setting up views for workstations and operators
Using cloned layouts
If you run the iTX installer to upgrade the Media Watcher, the Media Watcher overwrites
existing Template layouts with new Template layouts that have the same name. This may result
in you losing modifications you make to Template layouts.
For this reason, we recommend you follow this practice when adding Template layouts to a
layout view: if you intend to modify a layout, you should only add a copy – or clone –of the
layout to the view. You give the cloned layout a different name to the name of the original
layout, or store it in a different folder
You do this by selecting the clone option and renaming the layout when adding it to your
system-administrator user view. After modifying the layout, you should save it as a global
layout and add it to any workstation or user layout view that requires it.
If a Template layout contains a pop-up layout that requires modification, you should also create
a copy of the pop-up layout.
Creating a system-administrator layout view
The first time you start the iTX Desktop on your system-administrator workstation, there are no
layouts in the workstation and user views; the iTX Desktop appears blank when you select
either view. The same is true for all operator workstations.
You need to create a system-administrator user view that gives you full administrative and
operational control of your system. With this view, you can assign layout views to workstations
and operators.
In the process, you need to modify some layouts to make them suit particular requirements of
your system. For system-security reasons, you can only modify layouts in a user view (not a
workstation view).
Manage Views dialog
To add layouts to your blank user view, you use the Manage Views dialog:
