Dynamic Layout Hierarchy

It is important to understand the structural hierarchy when designing layouts in the Layout Editor.

Each Layout contains one or more Screens (based on available screens in Windows). Each Screen host one or more Containers which in turn host Tile such as MediaGrid, Log, Dashboard etc.

There are two types of Containers available:

• Framed Containers - Host a single Tile
• Tabbed Containers - Hosts multiple Tiles which the User can switch between using tabs.

Containers are sized an positions on Grid with the number of columns and rows determined on a per Screen bases.

Layout Editor Basics

The ribbon includes all the basic tools for managing Layouts and adding Screens, Containers and Tiles. 

Layout Section

• New - Creates a new Layout.
• Import - Import a Layout from a layout XML file.
• Reload - Reload Layout from most recent save (discarding  changes).
• Save - Saves the current Layout.
• Save As - Save the current Layout as a new file.
• Rename Layout - Renames the Layout.
• Delete - Deletes the currently loaded Layout (requires confirmation).

Screen Section

• Add Screen - Adds an additional Screen to the Layout.

Container Section

• Add Tab - Adds a Tabbed Container to the selected Screen.
• Add Frame - Adds a Framed Container to the selected Screen.
• Up/Down - Moves the selected Container up or down the navigation panel. This also controls Z-order as Containers are rendered from the top to the bottom of the Navigation panel.

Tile Section

• Add Tile - Add an additional Tile to the selected Tabbed Container.
• Up/Down - Moves selected Tile up or down within a Tabbed Container (changes the order of the User tabs).

Edit Section

• Remove - Removes the selected Tile or Container from the Layout (requires conformation). N.B. You cannot remove a Contain that c hosts Tiles, you must remove the Tiles first,

The Navigation Panel allows you to select Screens, Containers and Tiles for editing.

The Properties Panel displays the settings and properties for the selected Screen, Container or Tile.

Screen  Properties

• Number of Columns - Sets the number of columns for this Screen.
• Number of Rows - Sets the number of rows for this Screen.

The example above will result in a 12 x 12 grid for Container placement.

Framed Container Properties

Framed Containers are containers that host a single Tile.

To add a Framed Container, select a Screen and click Add Frame.

When you add a Frame, you must select the Tile that the Container will host from the available list. Select a Tile and click on OK to add both the Framed Container and the Tile to the layout.


The Contain and Tile will be added to the Navigation panel on the left hand side of the Layout Editor.

Select the Container node to access the Container properties.



The options are:

• Container Header - Add a name for the Container to help with navigation of your layout. This name is not displayed in the layout itself.
• Column - Sets the starting column position for the Container. Column zero is the left most column.
• Column Span - Sets the number of columns the Container will span (the width of the Container).
• Row - Sets the starting Row position for the container. Row zero is the top row.
• Row Span - Sets the number of rows the container will span (the height of the Container).
• Tab Placement - This property set the position of the Tabs in a Tabbed Container (Left, Top, Right, Bottom). It is not required for Framed Containers.

Changes made to Container Properties are shown in real-time in the grid preview so you can use these settings to move Containers around the Screen and change the Container size.

Tabbed Container Properties

Tabbed Containers host one or more Tiles, and allow Users to switch between the Tiles within the Container using Tabs.


The screen shot above shows an example of a Tabbed Container that hosts five Tiles (Favourites, Listener Requests, Library, MediaWall & SmartInfo). Users can switch between the Tiles using the tabs located along the top of the Tabbed Container (the position of the tabs is a property of the Tabbed Container).

To add a Tabbed Container, select a Screen and click Add Tab.

When you add a Tabbed Container, you must select the first Tile that the Container will host from the available list. Select a Tile and click on OK to add both the Framed Container and the Tile to the layout.


The Contain and Tile will be added to the Navigation panel on the left hand side of the Layout Editor.

Select the Container node to access the Container properties.

Select the Tile you want to add and click OK.


The new Tile will be added to the Navigation panel under the Tabbed Container and the Tab will be added to the preview on the grid.

Tile Properties

In this section we will outline the top level properties for the available Tiles in Myriad 7.

Custom Date and Time Format Specifiers

Custom Date and Time Format Specifiers are short codes used to control how dates and times are displayed. Each code represents a particular part of a date or time, such as the day, month, year, hour or minute. You can combine these codes with separators and other text to create the format you need. For example, dd/MM/yyyy displays a date as 22/09/2026, while HH:mm:ss displays a time as 11:45:30. The number and capitalisation of letters is important — for example, MM represents the month, while mm represents minutes.

These codes are used in Tiles to allow you to configure how Dates and Times are displayed in your Layout.

This is primarily used to display ‘mic live’ information which gives a visual indication when one or microphone ‘faders’ are in the ‘open’ position.

• Icon Type - Sets whether to display a icon on the Tile or not.
• Tab Header - Sets the Text to display on Tabs if placed in a Tabbed Container.
• Channel Index  – This sets the hardware index channel that the Tile will respond to. If set to 0 then the Tile will activate when any microphone channel is in use. If you set the Index to a number (1-X) then the tile will only activate when the corresponding mic channel number is ‘open’. So as an example, if you wanted this Tile to only activate when the third microphone is active, set the Index to 3.
  
  Expand the MixerView Settings node to access the following settings.

Smart Display Tile

The Smart Display Tile is a general tool for displaying text and images within a layout. It can also change the value of the text images and colours based on external inputs or triggers such as hardware inputs or User clicking on the Tile.

Use cases include:
