Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
To prevent a layout from being unloaded by chance, set the hidden property!
Please note: A hidden layout can only be loaded automatically! A hidden layout can be
visible or invisible, depending on Visible property to be set on the windows of the
respective layout.
The Layout properties dialog also includes two buttons which applies to all layouts defined for a display wall, the
button load automatically and the button hidden layouts.
Load automatically
This command opens a dialog where the layouts to be loaded automatically can be managed. Click on the Add
button to get a list of the layouts defined for the current display wall, and select the desired layouts. Check
hidden if the layout should be prevented from being managed.. If the list of the layouts to be loaded automati-
cally comprises more than one entry, the sequence can be changed using the Up and Down buttons.
To prevent a layout from being loaded automatically, select it in the list, and click Remove.
Using this dialog, the hidden property of all layouts which are to be loaded automatically
can be set.
The list has to be empty in order to modify the Use region property on the display wall
properties dialog.
While a layout belongs to the list of automatically loaded layouts, it cannot be deleted
from the database.
