How to use Layouts

A layout decides how your screen is carved up — one big playlist? Or a playlist on the left, a menu on the right, and a banner running across the bottom? You build that arrangement once as a Layout, then reuse it.

See your layouts

1. Sidebar → My Scheduling → Layouts.
2. The grid shows: Name, Number of Zones, Number of Displays, and User.
3. Use the column filters to find a specific layout. The grid shows “no rows” if you haven’t built any yet.
4. The Action menu (right edge) lets you Edit, Lock, Duplicate, or Delete a layout.

Create a layout

1. Click + Create Layout in the top right.
2. Name your layout (required).
3. Step 1 — Choose a Layout:
   • Switch between 1 Zone and 2 Zones tabs depending on how many distinct content areas you need.
   • Pick a thumbnail. Each thumbnail represents an arrangement (e.g. landscape / portrait, banner top / bottom / left / right).
4. Click Next to go to Step 2 — Add Content and assign a playlist (and optional banner) to each zone.
5. Click Next to Step 3 — Select Your Display(s) and pick which displays should run this layout.
6. Click Save.

Tips

• The number of zones limits what you can show at once. 1 Zone = full-screen content. 2 Zones is great for “main + side panel” setups.
• Pair a layout with a Split-Screen Playlist (see 06-playlists/) when the playlist itself needs to stay synchronized across multiple zones.
• The colored stripe in the thumbnail represents a Banner zone — leave it unchecked if you don’t want a banner.
