Edit Conference Template Dialog Box
Lets you edit a conference template. The following table describes the fields in the dialog box. The Common
Settings section applies to all MCUs. The Cisco Codian section appears only if the system is licensed to
use Cisco Codian MCUs, and its settings apply only if a Codian MCU is selected for the call. The other
sections apply only if a Polycom RealPresence Collaboration Server or RMX MCU is selected.
Conference custom layout Enables the Conference layout desired setting, where you can select the
number and arrangement of video frames by clicking the image.

RMX General Settings
RMX Profile Settings See Two Types of Templates on page190.
Use existing profile Links this template to the RMX profile selected in the list below.
For most purposes, we recommend leaving this box unchecked and
specifying conference properties directly. See Conference Templates on
page190 .
RMX profile name Identifies the profile to which this template is linked. The list contains the
names of all the profiles available on the currently connected MCUs. If a
profile is only available on some of the connected MCUs, its entry shows how
many of the MCUs have that profile (for instance, 2 of 3).
The system will put conferences using this template on the least used MCU
that has this profile. If there are none, it selects the least-used MCU and either
uses the Codian-specific settings (if it selected a Cisco Codian MCU) or falls
back to the default conference template (if it selected a Polycom MCU).
