Creating a Layout in Pharmadigital
The Layout section of Pharmadigital allows you to define the graphical structure of content playback by dividing the screen into different zones (e.g., main, sidebar, footer, etc.).
1. Creating a new layout
- Go to Menu → Layout → Create.
- You can choose to:
- Create a new layout.
- Start from an existing layout in the library and duplicate it.
- Enter a name for the layout and select the orientation (horizontal or vertical).
2. Managing zones
Each layout is composed of one or more zones, which represent independent areas of the screen.
-
Click Add zone to create a new one.
-
For each zone you can define:
- Zone name
- Zone type (Main, Footer, Side, Background, etc.)
- X and Y coordinates (zone position on the screen)
- Width
- Height
The created zones are displayed in the preview on the right:
- You can move them via drag & drop.
- You can resize them directly from the preview.
3. Zone types and supported content
Each zone can contain only certain types of content.
