Modifying layouts
About the layout-editing mode
When a layout is in the layout-editing mode, you can modify it by moving, resizing, adding, and
deleting components; also, by changing component properties.
Because this means that you can significantly change a layout, you should be careful to only
change it in the way we describe in this section.
If you change a component accidentally, and are uncertain how to restore it to its original state,
you should exit the iTX Desktop without saving your changes. You can then start the
configuration again. More details , page 139.
Once you have completed the configuration, you should exit the layout-editing mode to
prevent accidental or unauthorised changes to the layout. Before you do, you may lock the
layout by specifying a password. Anyone who wants to put the layout into the layout-editing
mode must then enter the password.
Select the layout-editing mode
1. On the iTX Desktop, right-click the title bar (or a clear area of the layout) to display the iTX
Desktop menu. Select Edit:
If the layout is not locked, it changes to the layout-editing mode. Red text for the title and
a red dot on the layout selection button (when you start to make changes) show the layout
is in this mode. A locked layout displays a dialog requesting you to enter a password;
entering the password unlocks the layout and puts it into the layout-editing mode.
On the layout, construction lines between linked components may be visible:
The layout displays the Toolbox:
The Toolbox contains components that you can add to layouts.
