Select Zone list

Clicking on the Select Zone button will show a list of zones in the current layout. The currently selected zone is

highlighted.

The Edit button will select a zone and close the select zone panel. Alternatively the panel can be closed by clicking the

Select Zone button again or elsewhere on the page.

Adding and deleting a Zone

Click the Add Zone button to add a new Zone.

After you create a Zone, edit the Zone's properties , and then open the Playlist for the Zone to add media items to

display.

To delete a Zone, click the Delete button for that Zone on the Select Zone list.

Changing the display order of Zones

You may wish to change the display order of zones - i.e. the order in which they are shown on the screen. For example,

you may wish for a background image to be at the back of a layout and content to be shown at the front.

This is achieved either by opening the Select Zone menu and dragging zones by its zone name, or by using the context

menu and selecting the appropriate "Move" option from the list.

Editing a hidden Zone

Sometimes a Zone can be completely hidden by another Zone. To edit a Zone that's hidden, either click Edit next to the

Zone on the Zone list dialog, or right-click the top Zone, and select edit for the required Zone from the context menu.
