Summary

In OnCloud, you can create a custom layout of up to 12 cameras. You can create as many layouts as you need, but only you can view or edit them. This article describes how to create, customize, and set a default layout.

Creating a Layout

1. Log in to Cloud Portal.
    
2. Navigate to OnCloud.
    
3. Click the Cameras icon, then click the Plus (+) icon next to My layouts.
   
   
    
4. Enter the name of the new layout and press Enter.
    
5. Click Edit Layout to add cameras.
    
6. Check the box next to each camera you want to add. 
   
   A layout can have up to 12 cameras.
   
   
    
7. Click Save to open the new layout.
   
   

Customizing a Layout

To customize a layout:

1. On the Cameras page, click the name of a layout under My Layouts.
    
2. To move a video stream to a new position, click and drag it.
    

3. To resize a video stream, click to grab a corner and drag to the desired size.

   NOTE: You cannot enlarge a stream into an area already occupied by another 
   video stream. First, resize the stream that occupies the space to make room, 
   and then enlarge the stream you want to expand.
   

4. To add or remove cameras, click the three dots at the top right, and then click Edit.
   
   
    

5. Use the checkboxes to add or remove cameras, then click Save Layout.

   NOTE: When you add a camera, the layout automatically adjusts to make space. 
   If you remove a camera, the layout will rescale. In both cases, the layout 
   will try to maintain the original orientation as much as possible.

Setting a Default Layout

If you have multiple camera layouts, you can select one of those layouts as the default. This layout appears on the Cameras page when you log in.

To set a default layout:

1. On the Cameras page, under My Layouts, click the name of a layout to set as your default.
    

2. In the upper right of the layout window, click the three dots and click Set as default. 
   
   
   
   The Flag icon appears next to the selected layout, making it the default layout the next time you log in. Setting a default layout is optional. If you do not set a default layout, you will see the full list of devices when you log in.
   
   
    

   NOTE: To remove a layout as the default, click the three dots in the upper 
   right corner and select Unset as default. This option also is available when 
   you hover over the default layout in Private layouts.
