Editing Pages

All of the items you see on the screen are configurable in Memory-Map for All. You can change the number of pages and the content of each page. Even the map view is configurable.

The interface has two modes: "Normal" and "Layout Editing". Use the Main Menu > Edit Layout to enable the Layout Editing mode. When editing, you will always see the Pages button at the top-right. Tap Done to go back to Normal.

Layout editing allows you to drag items on the screen, resize items, change the type of data displayed, create new items, and it also enables special setup options in the context menu for some items.

Tap or click on an item to select it. The selected item is outlined in green, with a drag handle in the middle and a resize handle at the bottom right. Items may be overlapping. Tapping or clicking on a selected item will select the next overlapping item.

If the item has a green outline but the drag and resize handles are not shown, it is because the item is "Locked". You can lock an item to prevent accidentally moving it. Right-click or use the blue context menu button to lock or unlock an item.

Tap the Pages button (top right). This shows a list of the different screen sizes and orientations (eg phone portrait, tablet landscape) and a set of pages for each screen. When you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, it switches to a different set of pages. You can design the pages so the data best uses the screen real-estate. Use the context menu in the pages list to add/remove pages or change the page order.

Each item has a "Layer" (1-9) which determines the behavior of overlapping items. Higher layers are drawn over the top of lower layers. Items in the same layer are not allowed to overlap and will rearrange themselves if you drag one on top of another, when editing the layout.

Layout files (*.pstf) are compatible between all the different platforms and can be imported/exported. You may find it easier to use a PC/Mac to edit the layout. On the desktop platforms, you can resize the window to easily preview different screen sizes. Save the file on iCloud, Drive or whatever to allow you to open it on your mobile device.

You can also Import or export individual pages in the layout.

A detailed description of all the available data items and buttons is here. Right-click or use the drop-down menu and Change Item to select a different item.
