Creating a New Layout
Complete the following steps to create a new layout. Avid does not currently impose a limit on the number of potential layouts that you can create.
In this version, Avid does not support the ability to create a layout with multiple instances of the same app — for example two copies of the Browse app.
When you create a new layout, the following values are saved:
• App position (docked or main) and the width of the panel that contains the app.
• The Asset Editor status (open or closed only).
The layout displays the Asset Editor in its default view (Media Viewer open, Tabs open with Audio tab selected).
• The Tasks app status (open or closed).
• (Browse app) The selected tab in the Browse app sidebar.
The layout also saves the current position in the folder structure.
• (Browse app, Search app) The selected view of the Results area (Card or List view).
To create a new layout:
1. Configure the MediaCentral Cloud UX user interface to your desired configuration.
2. Click the Layout button in the Fast Bar.
3. Click the Save Layout option in the menu.
4. Configure the required fields and options in the Save Layout window.
a. Enter a name for the layout.
While there is no character limit, the menu display a maximum of eleven characters. If you exceed that limit, the menu displays a set of ellipses to indicate that some characters are hidden.
The Layout menu allows you to create more than one layout with the same name. This behavior is intentional to enable new functionality in future releases.
After you save the layout, you can hover your cursor over the Layout menu item to display the full name as a tool-tip.
b. Select or deselect the default layout check box.
- If selected, MediaCentral Cloud UX displays this layout automatically when you log into the system. If you create another layout and select this check box again, the new layout becomes the new default view.
- If you deselect the check box, the system creates the layout without altering the default view.
- If you do not assign the default view to any layout, the system defaults to displaying the Browse app on login.
c. If you want to save this layout so that is available to other members of your team, select the Public check box.
Public layouts are available to all MediaCentral Cloud UX users.
5. Click the Save button.
Your new layout is saved. If you have more than one layout, the most recent layout is displayed at the bottom of the list.
