2.2.4 Layout Properties

The Layout Properties tab allows you to configure the following details (when complete, click the
button):
Description Optional. Enter a description of the layout. The iCOMPEL displays this on the Layout pages underneath the
layout's name.
Layout Ad hoc Check this box and the iCOMPEL will automatically create an ad hoc page if you add ad hoc items to this
Page layout.
If you add or remove ad hoc items, the iCOMPEL will add or remove them from that ad hoc page. If you delete
all ad hoc items, iCOMPEL deletes the ad hoc page.
Soundtrack Check the Include Soundtrack box to enable a soundtrack for this layout.
By default, the iCOMPEL checks the Add default media to Soundtrack's Playlist box. This means that the
iCOMPEL will play the default soundtrack media. If you uncheck that box, you will need to add a media file by
opening the Soundtrack item in the layout's Playlist menu.

2.2.5 Interaction Properties

The Interaction tab allows you to define how the layout responds to touch screen and general purpose input/output events.
Note: You may require a feature key to use these options.

2.3 Using Zones

You compose layouts from defined rectangular areas called zones. Each zone can display various types of media content.
The number of zones in your layout, their size, and location is up to you.
It is common to use different zones to display different types of content (for example, one for scrolling text, one for a
promotional video, and so on). However, any zone can display any media type: you just have to enable the zone with the
appropriate media player. You can have a zone display a single item or a sequence of items. You define the items that a
zone displays in a playlist.
