Using the Assignment Desk Layout
When you have configured the Assignment pane, you can create, edit, and manage your assignments using the Assignment Desk layout in MediaCentral UX. The following illustration shows the Assignment Desk layout. For more information on using the Assignments pane, see
Create and Manage Assignments.
You can customize MediaCentral UX by adjusting a layout’s areas and panes. A single area can contain one or more panes. When an area contains more than one pane, the panes are displayed in a tabular format, with one pane on top of the others.
