Nx Witness User Manual
Layouts are an integral part of the Nx Witness experience that provides a way to organize Cameras, Devices, and Web Pages for efficient access and viewing. Users can quickly switch between Layouts to follow items of interest or to view an area from another perspective.
•There are three types of Layouts:
oUser Layouts – are only be accessed by the User who created the Layout.
oShared Layouts – can be shared with other User of the System.
oCloud Layouts – may contain Devices from multiple Cloud Connected systems.
•Layouts are only accessible in the Desktop Client and cannot be viewed in the Web Admin or Cloud Portal.
•A Layout is an arrangement of up to 64 Cameras, Devices, Web Pages, and other elements placed on the Viewing Grid.
•Each Layout is displayed within a separate tab of Desktop Client and Multiple Layouts can be open simultaneously.
•A Layout must be saved after it is created, otherwise it will be lost if the tab is closed or the session has ended.
•Administrators and Power Users can share Layouts with other Users (see "Creating and Sharing Layouts" and "Permissions Management").
•Changes to Shared Layouts and Cloud Layouts are propagated to all Desktop Client instances and Users who have permissions to the Layout (see "Layout Management").
•An Alarm Layout is configured to open as a responsive action to a specific Event (see "Showing Cameras on Alarm Layout").
