1. What is a layout ?

A Lyyti layout corresponds to the visual identity of your event and its pages (registration or event site). It can also be used in surveys.

A layout includes at least one Design (= page background, fonts and default styles, more information on Designs by clicking here).

It is also possible to add banners (optional) in the header and footer. Headers and footers are displayed on all the pages of your event site (for more information on event sites, click here).

To manage page layouts (create, modify and view), go to "Elements / Registration page layouts".

2. Add a new layout

2.1. Recommended formats

To create a new layout, make sure you have the image files for your headers/footers (created outside Lyyti) available on your computer. You will need to insert them into Lyyti.

These are the formats supported for headers and footers:

• File type : JPG / JPEG / PNG / GIF.
• Width : 800 pixels.
• Height : 200~300 pixels (recommended). There is no technical limitation to the height, but to keep the registration page clear and simple, avoid banners much higher than 300 px. 

2.2. Creation steps

Go to "Elements / Registration page layouts" and click on the "create a layout" button in the top right-hand corner.

1. Give a title to the layout. Choose a name that describes best the contents of the layout, so you'll know later on where to use this layout, for example "Christmas party; Official layout".
2. Select a design to be used with the layout. The design affects the registration page's fonts, buttons, colors, etc. If your organisation has a design of their own, it is recommendable to use that. If you don't have a design, you can use ready made designs by Lyyti. 
3. Upload banner(s) from your computer. 
4. Select the default setting for how questions are shown on the registration page: on the same row or one below the other
5. Select rights for the layout i.e who can use layout in your organisation.
6. Save.

3. Select a layout in your event

To select a layout for your event, and thus change its overall visual appearance, go to Your event / Registration page and select your new layout from the "Registration page layout" drop-down menu.

Save the change at the bottom of the page.

To see the change, preview the registration page or event site using the square icon with an arrow at the top of the page.

4. Select a layout in a survey

When you create a new questionnaire or modify an existing one, you can select a layout from the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

Save the change at the bottom of the page and close the survey.

From the survey list, you can preview the change using the square icon with an arrow to the right of the name of your survey.

5. Share access and/or modification rights for your layouts

When you create or modify a layout, you can define who will be able to use it and who will have the rights to modify it.

There are therefore 2 levels of rights:

1. Usage rights: users can select this layout for their event and/or survey.
2. Editing rights: users can change the layout, for example the header and footer. Please note! These users can also share the rights to the layout.

By default, when you create a new layout, it is accessible to all other users in your organisation, but you can :

1. Restrict access to yourself only
2. Share it with specific users and define their rights (access and/or modification)
3. Share access rights with all users in your organisation
4. Share access and editing rights with all users in your organisation

Please note that if you choose to share the layout with specific users (option 2), it will have to be manually shared with any new users in your organisation in the future.

6. Modify a layout

Go to Elements / Registration page layouts to access the list of your layouts. Click on its name or on the wheel icon to its right to modify it.

Please note! If a layout is being used in an event and/or survey and is modified, the change will be effective and visible immediately in the event and/or survey.

When you modify a layout, you can change its name and all its options. You can refer to the steps for creating a layout by clicking here, the options would be the same.

7. Replacing and deleting a layout

You can only delete a layout if it is not used in an event and/or survey.

If a layout is in use, this will be indicated by a "in-use" bubble next to its name under Elements / Registration page layouts. The option to delete the layout will not be available until it has been replaced.

This layout can easily be replaced by another in all the events and/or surveys in which it is selected.

To do this, click on the name of the layout and choose the "replace layout" option. From the drop-down menu, you can choose another layout to apply to these events and/or surveys.

Once the replacement has been made, click on the name of the layout and choose "delete layout", and the option will be available again.
