You can share custom layouts with other users. The user can share only his/her custom layouts.

This feature comes in handy, when it is only the administrator's job to create and edit layouts. After configuring, the administrator can assign the layouts to users/roles.

To share a layout, complete the following steps:

  1. Select a layout (see Selecting a layout for editing) and go to Layout Editing mode (see Switching to Layout Editing mode).

  2. Click the  button and open the context menu. Select one or several roles in Share layout.

    You can select the roles of the selected Axxon domain. Axxon domain can be selected on the Camera Search Panel.


  3. If you want to grant rights to edit layouts, select the Allow edit checkbox for the required user role.

  4. If you want to make the layout accessible only within a pre-defined time window, select the corresponding Time Zone from the list.

  5. Exit layout editing mode (see Exiting Layout Editing mode).

This layout is shared with other users.

These users can not edit and share this layout. They can:

  1. Work with layout (see The Layouts panel).

  2. Delete it from their list (see Creating and deleting layouts).

    Only the layout owner can completely remove it from the VMS.

    Upon removal, the layout becomes unavailable to all users. If the removed layout was open on some user's monitor, it is immediately replaced by another layout.


  3. Copy the layout (see Layout copying). If you copy the layout, you are the owner of your copy. You can edit it.

Shared layouts are sealed with the following sign:
