CO Screen Layout

The Center Overview (CO) may consist of more than one room tab—displayed on the right side of the header—including one or more room panels. The number of rooms on each tab is indicated in parentheses. Rooms can be relocated from one tab to another but cannot be copied.


Room tabs can be added by clicking the + icon or deleted by clicking the X of the given tab.


To create custom tabs, use + on the right side of the header and drag & drop the rooms to your new tab.

Users can create and customize multiple tabs in Center Overview (CO). Each newly created layout will be saved in the user profile for next time, so users can return to any of their custom tabs at any time. If not needed anymore, a custom tab can be deleted.

IMPORTANT: Only room tabs containing no room panel can be deleted.
Custom tabs can be deleted after they are emptied. To empty a custom tab, drag & drop every room to another tab.
