Adding a layout

Add devices, webpages, videos, and files to BLAZE and organize them into a single layout in the Scene panel for easy access. Configuring layouts with devices specific to certain areas, such as lobbies, entrances, or floor plans, enables efficient monitoring.

Note:
  • Layouts created by users with the System administrator or Administrator role are automatically shared with all users who have the Administrator role by default. System administrators and administrators cannot create unshared layouts.
  • Shared layouts can be selected in Open layout for an event action, and can be assigned to users below the Administrator role.
