Use this dialog box to view, create, transfer, or set layout for the current log window. Using layouts, you can define a filter, sort, and group, and apply them as one unit to a log window.

For example, if you use a certain combination of a sort, filter, and/or group repeatedly, you could create a layout that combines them and apply the layout to a log window.

A layout will appear in the same log window for all projects within a database. If you create a layout called Layout1 for the Contracts log in project DEMO, Layout1 will appear in the Contracts log in every project in that database.

Note: To use layouts, you must have access rights. Access rights for layouts are set in the User Account – Edit Window window in the Contract Management Administration Application.
