Mobility - Layouts - New Layout

The New Layout page allows you to create layouts for Fire Field Mobile and Law Enforcement Field Mobile's Home screens. After creating a layout on the New Layout page, it can be selected for a context on the Views page.

TIP: The New Layout page is opened using the + New  button on the Search Layouts page.

To create a new layout, enter its name in the Layout Name text box, then select the type of device and the application for which it is being created from the corresponding Device Type and Application Type lists. Next, using the check boxes on the left, select the widgets that should be included in the new layout. When a check box is selected, a corresponding widget card is automatically added to the grid on the right. These cards can be moved to another spot in the grid by clicking and dragging them, or resized by clicking their edge and dragging. 

To delete a card from the grid, click the associated Delete  button.

If you are having a difficult time resizing or moving a card, try resizing it or deleting another card temporarily.

When the Overview Map and PAR Timer check boxes are selected, their cards can be configured to retain the settings selected on the Fire Field Mobile Settings or Law Enforcement Field Mobile Settings pages, or you can configure their settings to be different for this specific layout. 

• Overview Map card:

  • When the Inherit Overview Map Settings check box is selected, the settings in the Fire Field Mobile Settings or Law Enforcement Field Mobile Settings page's Overview Map section are used for Overview Map widget.

  • When the Inherit Overview Map Settings check box is cleared, the Current Location At Center, Zoom to Unit Extents, and Show Only Your Call check boxes enable. Select or clear each of the check boxes to configure the Overview Map widget for this specific layout.

• PAR Timer card

  • When the Inherit Overview Map Settings check box is selected, the settings in the Fire Field Mobile Settings page's PAR Timer section are used for the PAR Timer widget. 

  • When the Inherit PAR Timer Settings check box is cleared, the PAR Timer Duration (1-100) text box enables. Enter a number in the text box to configure the PAR Timer widget for this specific layout.

TIP: Additional information on the fields mentioned above can be found on the following help topics:

• Law Enforcement Field Mobile Settings - Overview Map Section

• Fire Field Mobile Settings - Overview Map Section

• Fire Field Mobile Settings - Par Timer Section

The PAR Timer and Benchmark Times check boxes only display when Fire Field Mobile is selected from the Application Type list.

When finished, click the Save button. Keep in mind that the entire grid must be filled with cards for the layout to be saved. If there is still available space on the grid and you click the Save button, an error message displays stating this.
