Layout—is the set order of positioning videos from cameras and information boards in the client interface. You can configure layouts after you connect to the domain server. The options for creating, editing, copying, and removing layouts are determined by the access level settings in the Layouts editing parameter (see Roles Role).

Сreated layouts are available when you connect to any server within the domain. Changes made by one user (selecting or editing a layout) don't affect the interface of other users. To provide access to the layout, use the share function (see Sharing layouts).

...

The layouts panel is located in the upper part of the interface. It automatically displays all available user layouts. When the client connects to several domains, the layouts of the main domain are available for selection.

Creating a layout

To create the new layout, do the following:

...

To switch to the layouts editing mode, you must have the appropriate access level rights (see Roles Role). In this mode, the following actions are available:

...

To move (change the order of) layouts on the panel, do the following:

1. Click the Open layout control menu button in the upper left corner of the panel.
2. Select the Delete/Move layouts item in the menu.
3. In the opened interface, change the layout's order using the drag-and-drop method.
4. Click the Save button. To cancel the action, click the Cancel button. 

...

When you use the Cross-System client (see Cross-System client), you can switch between the available domains on the current layout by using the drop-down list that is located in the upper left corner next to the camera search field (see Camera Search Panelsearch anel).

When you use the Cross-System client, the system supports creating and saving the layouts that contain cameras from different domains. To configure it, do the following:

...

By default, these layouts use the 3x3 format. You can limit the number of the displayed cells by specifying the fixed template. To do this, do the following:

1. Go to Go to the editing mode of the required layout (see Switching to the layout editing mode).
2. Click the Open layout control menu button in the upper left corner of the panel.
3. Select one of the standard templates (1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 cells) in the menu. For the layout with alarm events, the maximum template size is 25 cells.

To return to the automatic 3x3 format, you must reselect the installed template.

...

The layout gets the appropriate icon and starts displaying cameras with alarm events.

Alarm cameras

A layout automatically displays the cameras that currently detect alarm events.

The principle of operation:

Alarm cameras

A layout automatically displays the cameras that currently detect alarm events. The display is performed in the current client or on one or several monitors.

Camera positions on the layout: 

In the dynamic mode:

1. Cameras are added starting from the upper left angle and following the chain down.

2. If you don't have enough space to display an ordinary camera in the current grid, the system switches to the grid with a large number of cells. The maximum value is 25 cells.

3. When you remove a camera from the layout, the chain of cameras that followed the removed camera shifts to exclude empty cells between cameras.

4. When you specify the display ability of existing cameras on the layout with a lower grid size, the system switches to the lower grid size.

In the fixed template mode:

1. Cameras are added starting from the upper left angle and following the chain down.

2. If you don't have enough space for display, new cameras appear only after you free up space in the grid (when the user processes an alarm (see Assessing an alarm event) if the response time or the period of any camera display expires (see Alarm processing)).

3. When you remove a camera from the layout, the shift of the displayed camera chain doesn't occur. When a new camera appears, this chain is displayed in the topmost free cell.
4. When the user specifies the fixed template, the camera display countdown restarts for all alarm cameras displayed on the layout.

The principle of operation: 

• If in the options (see Alarm processing) the specified time for the camera display on the layout is lower than the operator response time to the new alarm, then you can remove the alarm camera from the layout after the camera display time expires on the alarm
New alarms occupy free cells on the
• layout.
• During the first 10 seconds, the cell
with the new alarm is highlighted by the red frame.
• A camera is removed from the layout after processing an event (see Assessing an alarm event) or after the set timeout expires (see Alarm processing).
• If there are no free cells, new alarms are transferred to the waiting order.
• with the new alarm is highlighted by the red frame.
• If there are no free cells, new alarms are transferred to the waiting list. The time counts down after a camera gets on the layout from the waiting list.
• An alarm doesn't disappear from the layout while the alarm assessment window is opened until the timeout expires. If you switch to another camera without assessment, the processing timer restarts the countdown.
• The camera is removed from the layout:
  • when the user completes assessing all active alarms for a camera;
  • when the time limit of camera presence on the alarm layout expires regardless of the number of accumulated active alarms;
  • when the operator response time for the newest alarm expires. Active alarms that were at the moment of layout opening are also taken into account.
• You can display a camera again after its removal only if a new alarm occurs
An alarm doesn't disappear from the layout while the alarm assessing window is opened until the timeout expires. If you switch to another camera without assessment, the processing timer restarts the countdown

Slideshow—the automatic cycle switching between selected layouts with the set interval. There is one slideshow created in the system by default, which includes all standard layouts created by the user. Special layouts aren't included in the automatic slideshow. The switching interval is three seconds by default. To change the interval, you must go to the Options tab → the User interface item, and in the Slideshow period, s parameter, set the required value (see Configuring the slideshow parameterssee User Interface).

To create the new set of layouts for the slideshow, do the following:
