Creating and Managing Layouts

Layouts allow you to arrange and modify a variety of elements on a canvas. The canvas is part of the Korbyt Anywhere Layout Builder where you can add and modify elements that will appear in the layout. Elements come in many different forms, ranging from images and text to tables that contain subscription data.

To create layouts:

  1. Click the hamburger icon and navigate to Content Layouts.
  2. Click Create Layout.
  3. Enter a layout name.
  4. Add custom tags.
  5. Optional and If enabled for your tenant, select the Record Proof of Play checkbox to record how long and how often your layout is used when attached to a playlist.
  6. Select one of the following layout types and complete the corresponding steps:
    Element Type Description Steps
    Default Standard canvas with a selection of canvas styles and default resolution of 1920 x 1080. Select a layout style.
    Video Wall Allows you to control how you want your layout to be displayed on multiple screens. The content in the layout can appear continuously from each screen or appear independently on different screens. Select a ratio.
    Fixed Offers custom dimensions that can be set in either a portrait or landscape orientation. Select an orientation and enter the necessary dimensions.
    External Layout Allows you to import layouts that were created using an external HTML builder. Click Choose File and upload a zip file that contains the necessary HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files.
    Import Layout Allows you to import a Korbyt layout that you exported previously and updated. Click Choose File and upload the zip file with the new HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Image files.

  7. Click Create.
    The Layout Builder launches.
  8. Use the Layout Builder to add the necessary customizations.

    • Save: Allows the layout to be saved on the fly to ensure that no changes are lost.
    • Publish: Allows the layout to be shared across Korbyt Anywhere so that it can be added to playlists. If you’re not an administrator, your layout must be approved by an administrator or designated approver. For more information, administrators and designated approvers should refer to Approving Layouts.
    • Exit: Allows you to either save your changes and exit the Layout Builder, or exit without saving any of your changes.

After layouts are saved or published, you can perform the following actions from the Layouts Dashboard:
