2.3.3 Editing a Zone's properties

A Zone's properties consist of:

The Zone name

The media types it plays

Zone size and position

Other assorted properties

When you've selected a Zone within the layout editor, pressing the Zone Properties button will show a popup dialog that

will allow you to set the properties of the selected Zone:

The Zone properties Dialog box

You can move the dialog around the screen by dragging it by its title bar. You can close it again by pressing the close

button on its top right.

The Zone properties have been grouped into tabs - you can select a tab by clicking the name.

Zone Tab

Zone Name

By default, zones are given letters to identify them. If you wish, you can instead give them names that will remind you of

what the zone is for. For example "Clock", "Movies" or "Newsfeed".

The Zone Name is shown everywhere within the web interface when you are on a page specific to a zone e.g. the playlist

edit page.

Media

Select the check box or boxes for the Media type or types allowed in this Zone. See more on Understanding Media Types...

Save All Changes and Edit Playlist

This button will save all changes to the layout and take you to the playlist editor page for that zone.
