Initially, no Layouts are configured in the system. An empty default Tab is shown (“New Layout”). If User tries to
configure Layout in this Tab, asterisk will automatically be added to the caption (indicating a Layout change). The
Layout will remain local.
IMPORTANT. Sometimes Alarm Layout may pop up if configured. See "Showing Cameras on Alarm Layout" for

The layout information is automatically passed to Server once Layout is saved (See “Saving Layouts”). If Layout is
saved successfully, it will be displayed in Resource Tree under the current User.
When closing all Layouts, the default blank Tab will still appear. If the current Layout is saved as “New Layout”, the
blank Tab located next to it will be renamed “New Layout 1” automatically.
Any saved Layouts that were previously opened, will appear automatically once User logs in.
Note: If Alarm Monitoring is configured, Alarm Layout will show up when the corresponding event occurs. See
"Showing Cameras on Alarm Layout" for details.
See "Layout Management" and specifically "Setting up Layout" sections for more details.
