Specifying DataView setup information - Layouts tab

When you set up a predefined DataView, you can specify this information on the Layouts tab of the DataViews Setup form.

Note: You can also use this tab to create copies of layouts. These duplicate layouts can each have a different scope and can be designated as the default version of the layout if desired.


Field/Option	Description
Copy Layout	To create a copy of a layout that you can use as the basis of a new layout, click this button. When you copy a layout, the copy initially has all the same field values, except for the Scope Type, which defaults to Site.
Layout	Use this field to name and identify a new layout. For layouts that have already been saved, this field is read-only and shows the name of the layout as it was saved.
Scope Type	Use this field to specify the level of scope to which the layout is available. The default scope for a copied layout is Site. If you specify a scope of either Group or User, you must also specify a Group Name or User Name, respectively. If you have Vendor Developer editing permissions, and you want to define the scope type as Vendor Default, enter 0 (zero) in this field.
Scope Name	If you specify either Group or User in the Scope Type field, you must specify the name of the applicable user group or the individual user in this field. Note: If Group is specified as the Scope Type, this column's header displays as Group Name. If User is specified as the Scope Type, this column's header displays as User Name.
Default	When there are multiple layouts with the same Scope Type and Scope Name, this option specifies the default layout. The Default layout option is set using the DataView Layouts form. On this form, the option is read-only.
Caption Override	Optionally, to designate a caption/title to use for the selected layout, specify the caption. This can be a translatable string or a literal value. When specified, this string replaces the default system-generated caption on DataView report outputs. Note: You can specify a DataView-level caption override, by setting the Caption Override field at the top of the form. If both fields have caption overrides, the layout-specific override here takes precedence.
Report Orientation	Use this field to set the orientation (Landscape or Portrait) for the selected layout. Note: You can specify a DataView-level orientation, by setting the Report Orientation field at the top of the form. If both fields have orientations specified, the layout-specific setting here takes precedence.
