Defining screen layout defaults

If setting preferences for other users, impersonate the user or role.

Press F12 or, from the Image area top toolbar, click Customize.

In the Customize dialog, switch to the Screen Layout tab.

If necessary, change the Modality and Body Part (if available) to customize.

To change the screen formats available for the selected modality, do the following:

1. If the screen format palette already contains the maximum number of formats (10 formats) and you want to add others, drag one or more that are no longer needed off the palette.

2. To add a format, drag it from the Customize dialog to the screen formats palette. Repeat as needed (up to 10 formats).

3. The screen format at the top of the palette becomes the default for that modality. To make a different format the default, drag that button from its current position to the top.

   For explanations of the different screen format options, refer to Changing study screen format.

Under Screen Layout, click to set each button to the state to be used by default for this modality.

Study view mode	Span one screen	Span two screens	Span All Screens
Series view mode	Same series. Not applicable when span one screen is used.	Different series. Not applicable when span one screen is used.	n/a

Click Apply.

Repeat steps 4–7 for other modalities.
