How to choose the layout?

    • To start using Enify you should to select Layouts
    • An Environment in Enify refers to the number of physical screens connected to your computer and how they are arranged. Enify automatically detects the environment, and you can also manually change it if needed.
    • Select the Layout icon located in the My Work section to access and choose from the available Layouts.
    • After selecting your desired Layout, click outside the box to return to My Work.
    • To utilize your chosen Layout, drag and drop an Element onto it, which will open on your physical screens.

    General tips for choosing Layouts:
    • When selecting a layout, ensure it can comfortably display all your information without excessive scrolling. For optimal viewing, limit the number of elements to 2-3 on an HD screen and 4 on an ultrawide screen.
    • Instead of overcrowding a single board with elements, consider breaking your work into multiple boards and repeating elements as necessary.
    • Reusing elements is straightforward, and switching between boards only requires a simple mouse click, so feel free to utilize multiple boards for your tasks.

Tips:  You can easily change the layout you want at any time when using Enify

How to choose layout?

    • To start using Enify you should to select an Environments and Layouts
    • The number of physical screens that are connected to your computer and how they are arranged is collectively called an Environment in Enify.  There will probably be an environment that suits your computer already in the system; generally this will be automatically selected by Enify when it starts but you can manually select one too (Shown in the video below). 

    • Click on the Layout icon shown in the My work section.
    • In the selection box you will see all the Environments that are compatible with your current setup; remember this may often change if you have a laptop that you dock to desktop screens. If you don't find a compatible Environments with your screen arrangement you should contact your administrator who can establish one for you or give you the capability to make them yourself.
    • Choose Environment to get access to available Layouts. 
    • Click outside the box when you have chosen your Layout to get back to My Work.
    • To use your Layout drag and drop an Element and it will open inn you physical screens. 

    General tips for choosing Layouts:
    • Choose a layout that can fully contain the information without having to use the scroll bars too much. We would recommend having no more that 2-3 elements on an HD screen and no more than 4 on an ultrawide screen.
    • Instead of crowding all your elements on the screen with a single board, break your work into a few boards, repeating elements as needed.
    • Re-using the same element is simple and getting between boards only takes 1 mouse click, so don't be afraid to use more than one.
