Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
A layout or a region cannot be deleted from the database while it belongs to the list of
autoloaded layouts!
Use Delete Shortcut to remove a shortcut. Please note:
• A shortcut can always be removed from a layout
• A shortcut can always be removed from a window
• A shortcut can only be deleted from the database if not required by any of the defined layouts or windows.
Use the Delete region command to delete the selected region. This command won’t delete the layouts assigned
to this region, but of course these layouts no longer can be loaded. To make further use of them, assign them to
a different region!
If regions are defined, then layouts can only be loaded into a region!
Save & and share database saves changes in the database and then shares this database so that other Layout
Editors, the Desktop Server, or the Remote Desktop can save their changes in the layout located in the data-
base. The desktop turns black and the following dialog is displayed:
The other Apollo application has write access to the database as long as this dialog is active. Confirming this
dialog with OK ends the release of the database to other applications and the database is reloaded. The desktop
color changes back to system color set for the desktop.
Example: When manipulating layouts or windows directly on the Display Wall, these modifications can only be
saved by the Desktop Server after the layout database has been unlocked and shared by means of the com-
mand Save and share database.
