Layouts Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Layouts sub-tab.

Field Description
Module Name In this field, you can specify the name of the module of which the workspace in the field “Window Name” is part. Note in some cases, a workspace can be opened from other modules than the one that it is actually part of.
Window Name In this field, you can specify the name of the workspace to which you wish to assign a layout for the current group.
Layout In this field, you can enter the name of the layout you wish to assign to the workspace on the current line. The layout must be assigned to the workspace in question in the Window Layouts workspace.
Layout This field shows the name of the layout used as the basis of the current layout.
Internal Window Type In this field, you can specify the dialog type of the current workspace. It is only necessary to specify the workspace type manually if you have specified an internal workspace name which is shared by several workspaces. For example, the workspaces Purpose and Find Purpose both have the internal workspace name Purpose, but their internal workspace types are “Dialog Window” and “Search Window,” respectively.

There are three types of dialogs in Maconomy: “Dialog Window,” “Search Window,” and “Parameter Window.” The three types are described briefly below:

  • Dialog Window — Windows of this type contain a tab and, in some cases, a sub-tab. These workspaces are used for registering and viewing information. Examples of dialog workspaces are the workspaces Sales Orders, General Journal, and Vendor Information Card.
  • Search Window — The find workspaces in Maconomy.
  • Parameter Window — Parameter workspaces are workspaces in which you can specify a number of parameters, for example, a range of sales order numbers, and execute a function by accepting the parameters. Examples of parameter workspaces are the workspaces Item Purchase Selection, Interest Selection, and all printout workspaces.
Internal Window Name In this field, you can specify the internal workspace name of the current workspace. It is only necessary to specify the internal workspace name in those cases where the same “normal” workspace name is shared by several workspaces. If you complete this field, Maconomy will automatically complete the fields “Module Name” and “Window Name.”

Note that some internal workspace names are shared by several workspaces. For example, the workspaces Purpose and Find Purpose both have the internal workspace name Purpose. This problem is solved by specifying both an internal workspace name and an internal workspace type.
