9.3 Closing the Desktop Server
To end the Desktop Servers use the Close Desktop Server command from the context menu (right mouse click
on icon).
9.4 Saving layouts in the database
Changes made to the layout directly on the Display Wall can also directly be saved unlocked (shared) database.
Just select Save Layout from the context menu of the Desktop Server (right mouse button). A dialog opens
where you can save the changed layout or define a new one. The current arrangement of windows can be
saved, without requiring a loaded layout.
A dialog opens where you can save the changed layout or define a new one. The current arrangement of win-
dows can be saved, without requiring a loaded layout.
If no regions have been defined, the dialog for saving a layout resembles the one of the
Apollo Explorer|Remote Desktop.
If a layout is loaded on the Display Wall, its name is suggested when saving, provided the selected region
matches. If the region does not match, no name is suggested!
You can save the layout with a new name and thus add it to the database. .
You can save the layout in a new region, thus assigning a new category to it.
When saving a layout with a new name or in a new region, only the option Include windows that don't belong
to a region can be checked or uncheck. This option refers to the windows which have not been launched by
loading a layout
Should you want to save the layout using the same name, you can define if you want to save the windows of
the respective layout only or additional windows (e.g. of another layout loaded into this region) (Save all win-
dows of this region, Only save windows of this layout), to include windows that don’t belong to a region (to
include windows that don’t belong to a region) or whether to remove closed (missing) windows from the
layout (Remove missing windows from the layout).
