Print Layout Single Dialogs Workspace

Use this workspace to maintain a list of the layouts that are available for printing.

You define layouts in text files, using the MDL programming language. You can edit these text files to create multiple layouts for a single report. You can also specify that a report should be translated into different languages.

When you have finished editing a layout, you can import that layout into Maconomy in this workspace. You can then use the layout for the printout to which the layout is assigned.

Using this workspace, you can export layouts from the server to your own computer so that you can edit the layout. After you edit a layout, you can save the text file again and update the layout on the server by importing it. When it imports the layout, Maconomy checks whether the layout complies with the required structure, and whether all of the elements are within the margins of the paper format.

If you select the Localization Desired field on the line in the Print Layouts sub-tab, Maconomy localizes the edited layout via dynamic translation. See the description of the Localization Desired field in the sub-tab for information about working with localization of print layouts.

For every layout you can assign an access level to restrict the use of that layout.

In the Print Layouts tab, the workspace displays the name of a Maconomy printout. In the Print Layouts sub-tab, you can assign various layouts to the current printout. Print layouts is an add-on product for Maconomy.
