Introduction

This page deals with the Layout tab on the User Details screen.

There are five User Interface layouts:

• Live screen without Config Function enabled

• Live screen with Config Function enabled

• Playback screen

• Alarm Dashboard

• Topology screen

These layouts can be adapted to suit each user as per the instructions on this page: User Interface Layout.

There are also live camera Viewers which can be docked on a PPI window, and for AdvanceGuard® and Sea360®, additional PPI windows - see New PPI Pane - AdvanceGuard®.

The Layout tab allows you to save all five of these layouts and features together into one Available Layout. You can then configure various Available Layouts and switch between them.
