Regions

Regions are defined areas on the Layout that can hold sets of content (called Playlists). Regions can be moved around inside the Layout using drag and drop, and resized using the Resize Handle in the Lower Right hand corner of the Region.

Regions are shown on the Layout Designer as semi-transparent white overlays.

With each change to a Region a "Save Position" button will appear at the top of the Layout. This must be clicked to Save the Changes that have been made.

Adding Regions

Regions are added using the toolbox "Add Region" button. Once the button is clicked a new region appears and is ready to be moved or resized by the designer.
