Rails layout on the DISCOVER screen

By default, ION will use the LAYOUT flag to determine the orientation of the images on a rail. When Landscape is selected, images use a 16:9 aspect ratio; when Portrait is selected, a 2:3 aspect ratio is used. You can override these layouts by adding an additional ui_layout property.

To set an additional property:

1. Select the template and then select Edit Rail Properties from the menu.
2. Click ADD PROPERTY and enter the details below.
3. Click the SAVE CHANGES button.
