Rails layout on the DISCOVER screen

By default, ION will use the value of Default Rail image Orientation 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 for the DISCOVER screen and the appropriate layout.

  2. Click

    on the rail that you want to add additional properties to and then click edit.png Edit Rail Properties.

  3. Click plus.png Add Property and enter the details as explained in the sections below.

  4. Click Save Rail >.

  5. In the confirmation dialog that is displayed, click Continue to save the rail.
