This option allows the standard Portal Desktop to display channels that are working without waiting for ones that do not work.

> Setting the layout options specifies the column widths of the standard Portal Desktop.

> Note | The Layout link provides additional settings for customizing your standard Portal Desktop that allow you To Move Channels Up or Down.
