Grass Valley iTX System v.2.6 - Manual (Page 117)

Setting up views for workstations and operators
The Manage Views dialog enables you to modify your current workstation and user views. You
choose a view to modify through one of the two selection buttons (Workstation View and User
View) at the top of the dialog.
Beneath these buttons, on the left, the Layouts in View pane shows what layouts currently
make up the selected view. On the right, the Layouts pane shows what layouts are available for
adding to the view. You can move layouts from one list to the other. You can also move layouts
up or down the Layouts in View list; this changes their order of appearance on the iTX Desktop.
When you add a layout to a view, you can add the original version of the layout that is in the
System Database or you can add a cloned copy of this. You should clone any layout that you
intend to modify. By doing so, you can protect it from being overwritten when you upgrade the
Media Watcher.
Add layouts to your system-administrator user view
To start with, you should add all the layouts that are to be used in your system to your user
view. After checking them and making any necessary modifications, you may remove the ones
you do not require.
1.
Do the following to open the Manage Views dialog.
• On the iTX Desktop, right-click the title bar (or a clear area of the layout) to display the
iTX Desktop menu. Select Select User View.
• From the iTX Desktop menu again, select Manage Views.
2. Ensure User View is selected in the dialog.
3. Select Global Layouts.
A Folders pane appears above the Layouts pane; it displays a list of the layout folders in the
System Database. The Layouts pane displays a list of layouts at the root level of the
selected folder.
4. Select a folder (e.g. 1280x1024) containing main layouts.
5. Do the following for each layout in the folder that you want to use without modifying.
• Select the layout in the Layouts pane.
• Click <.
The layout appears in the Layouts in View pane (and disappears from the Layouts pane).
6. Do the following for each layout that you want to modify before using.
• Select the layout in the Layouts pane.
• Click <.
• Enter a new name and title for the cloned layout in the Rename Cloned Layout dialog.
The cloned layout appears in the Layouts in View pane (the original stays in the Layouts
pane).
7. Do the following if you want to change the position of any layout.
• Select the layout in the Layouts in View pane.
• Click Move Up or Move Down.
For convenience, you may make the Engineering layout the first one in your view; this is
the layout you use most for system administration.
8. Click OK to close the Manage Views dialog.
