Creating Custom Layouts - XVWeb

Creating/Editing layouts within XVWeb does not create/edit the layouts within XVCapture/DCV. If you need to create/edit layouts within XVCapture/DCV, please refer to Creating Custom Layouts - XVCapture/D

The following steps will walk you through creating a custom layout in XVWeb from scratch. Before beginning the walkthrough, please remember that the tooth associations with each tile is very important. If you are creating a layout within XVWeb to match an already existing layout in XVCapture/DCV, it is vital that each tile's tooth associations match to the XVCapture/DCV layout exactly.

1. Within XVWeb, pull up a patient image (does not have to be any specific image).
2. Click the Layouts icon on the right side of the page and select Edit
   
3. In the Layouts side bar that populates, click New layout at the top where you will be prompted if you want to start with an Empty layout or start with a common starting point. 
   
4. Selecting New Empty Layout brings you to an empty Layout Editor page. Click on New Tile to get started
   
5. When creating a title, you will have a variety of options. Fill in the options if desired and click Create  
   
   • Tile Type -
     • Image is a typical x-ray or intraoral photo
     • Graphic is a pre-selected images that remains in the layout (such as an office logo)
     • Text is white text with a few options such as font size, style, and family
       
   • X - moves the tile on the X axis (higher numbers are further to the right, lower are to the left)
   • Y - moves the tile on the Y axis (higher numbers move the tile down, lower numbers move the tile up)
   • Width - makes the tile you have selected wider or thinner
   • Height - makes the tile you have selected taller or shorter
   • Modality - The type of image it is (IO is for Bitewing and PA x-rays, PX is for Panos, etc)
     
   • Progression Instance -

     Though it is not required, it is recommended to assign a unique progression instance to all tiles in a created layout so that XVWeb Capture progressions and importing directly into a layout function as expected.

     This is the layout capture sequence when using XVWeb Capture. Assigning 1 will indicate that it is the first tile that will be readied. A tile with progression instance 2 will be the next tile to ready (and so on).
     Additionally, progression instance is necessary when using the import tool if you intend for your images to fill specific tiles in a layout. An example is an ortho layout where images must appear in a specific order.
   • Teeth - specifies which teeth will be in the shot and can determine how XVWeb displays the layout once images are taken in the tile.
     
   • Rotation - Applies a rotation independent of sensor direction. (0, 90, 180, or 270 degrees)
     
6. Once a tile is created, you are free to move it around and adjust as needed
   • Note: you may need to X out of the Create Tile dialog and click into Edit Tile to change the settings on the tile once it has been created
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 as necessary to complete you objective
8. When you're done making as many tiles in as many styles as you would like:
   1. Click Save on the left
   2. Give it a name
   3. Click Save on the right
      
      
      

If the layout is not shown immediately, it is recommended that you close and restart your internet browser.
