Page Layout Overview
Introduction
A monitor displays a series of images in viewports. A viewport is a sub-section of your monitor. For example, a 2x2 page layout contains four viewports on your monitor. You can use the Page Layout tool to change the number of viewports on a monitor. The page layout you select determines how many series that Synapse can concurrently display on a monitor.
Spanning and repeating page options are available in multi-monitor workstations.
|
Note: |
If you change the page layout, Synapse automatically adds or removes reading protocol steps if necessary. |
Synapse provides default asymmetric, symmetric, and custom page layout options.
Single Monitor Workstation
For a single monitor workstation, change the page layout using Page Layout 
.
You can only change the page layout options for that monitor.
Multiple Monitor Workstation
For a multiple monitor workstation, you have the option of changing the page layout for either the selected monitor or for other monitors for that workstation. You can repeat a page layout across two, three, or four monitors. Four monitors is the maximum supported number of monitors in a workstation.
Example A
For example, if you have a four-monitor setup, you can configure the following as shown in Example A:
- Monitors 1 and 2 have a 2x2 page layout (four viewports on Monitor 1 and 2)
- Monitor 3 has a 2x1 page layout (two viewports on Monitor 3)
- Monitor 4 has a 1x1 page layout (one viewport on Monitor 4)

Additionally, you can use the same page layout for the selected monitor and all other monitors when you choose the All Monitors (repeat) option. For example, if you select monitor 2 and choose a 2x2 page layout, you can repeat the 2x2 page layout for all the monitors in your workstation.
1x1 Page Layout Options Across Multiple Monitors
You have two additional options for a 1x1 page layout across multiple monitors:
- Spanning across all monitors (shown in Example C)
- Repeating across all monitors (shown in Example D)
Example B
In Example B, you have 4 monitors in a 2x2 page layout for Study 1. Each series could have one or more images.
