8.4.1 Loading layouts and shortcuts
The shared Apollo Database directory located on the control computer of a Display Wall or any network com-
puter contains a database with the layout (Apollo Layouts Database) definitions and linked programs for this
Display Wall.
Use the File|Open command to open the desired database or select the corresponding entry from the MRU list or
select the database from the list of Favorites.
Already defined layouts are represented in a tree-like structure (Tree View) . Click on the entry Layouts to ex-
pand the view. The Layouts node is expanded to show the layout groups, the group node is expanded to show
the names of the layouts belonging to this group. Finally a specific layout is expanded to show its windows,
shortcuts and viewers (if defined in this layout).
Select a layout. The windows are displayed on the desktop, and you can interactively specify position and size.
Specify additional parameters with the Properties|Window menu.
There is also the possibility to show a Second tree view. Click on the respective button in the task bar of the
Layout Editor. The second tree view, a 1:1 copy of the tree view, is displayed. Use this second tree view to drag
and drop the desired windows, shortcuts, viewers into the respective layout.
