Window Layout Groups Single Dialogs Workspace

Use this workspace to assign window layouts to user groups.

A layout defines which elements (fields, labels, variables, and so on) are displayed when a user opens a window. You can design different layouts and assign them to different user groups.

Windows in Maconomy are only available to the users in the layouts that you define for the groups to which you assigned those users.

The Window Layout Groups tab displays the name of a group that you create in the Groups workspace. In the Layouts sub-tab, you can assign window layouts to that group. Thus, users whom you assign to the current group see the layouts that you define in the sub-tab when they open windows.

If you assign a user to more than one group, Maconomy uses the following list of priorities to determine which layout to display when the user opens a given window:

1. Maconomy checks whether a layout for the window in question has been defined for the group on the top line in the sub-tab of the user's information card. If so, Maconomy uses that layout.
2. If no layout is specified for that window in the top group, Maconomy checks whether a layout has been defined in the second group in the sub-tab of the user's information card, and so on. If no layouts have been defined in any of the groups, Maconomy uses the standard layout for the window.
