Field | Description |
Export Standard Layout
|
Using this function, you can export a layout from the server to your own computer. When you select this function, the layout for the Standard layer on the current line is converted to a text file, and a dialog appears, asking you to enter a name and location for the exported file. After exporting the layout, you can edit it and re-import it as a layout on the Custom layer using the function “Import Custom Layout.”
The exported layout is not localized into the client language. If you want to localize the layout on export, use the action “Export Localized Standard Layout.” In a multi-language installation, you will typically export the layout without localization, as Maconomy will localize the layouts to the applicable languages when you import the modified layout. However, if you only use one language, it will be more efficient to export the layout using the “Export Localized...” actions. This will make it easier for you to edit the layout.
Note that the layout is not deleted from the server after being exported.

Export Solution Layout
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Export Standard Layout” above, but concerns the layout on the Solution layer.
|
Export Custom Layout
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Export Standard Layout” above, but concerns the layout on the Custom layer.
|
Export Localized Standard Layout
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Export Standard Layout” above, with the exception that when exported, the layout is localized into the client language selected in the workspace Language Selection in the Settings menu in the Windows client (or otherwise in the Java client). If you want the modified layout to be localized upon import, you must use the action “Export Standard Layout” instead. For more information, see the action “Export Standard Layout” above and the section “Localization” in the introduction to this workspace.

Export Localized Solution Layout
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Export Localized Standard Layout” above, but concerns the layout on the Solution layer.
|
Export Localized Custom Layout
|
The functionality of this action is similar to that of the action “Export Localized Standard Layout” above, but concerns the layout on the Custom layer.
|
Import Custom Layout
|
Using this function, you can update the layout on the Custom layer on a given line in the sub-tab or add a new one. When you select the function with a line selected in the sub-tab, a dialog appears, asking you to select the text file containing the desired layout description. When you have selected the file, it is automatically imported to the server, replacing the layout which was previously assigned to the line in question, or adding a new layout in the Custom layer. When updating a layout, the update affects all of the groups to which the layout has been assigned. The layout name in the imported layout description file must match the name of the layout being updated. You cannot update layouts on other layers than the Custom layer.
Note that Maconomy validates the layout before importing it. Any errors in the validation will be displayed if you are not able to import the layout.
|
Delete Custom Layout
|
If you select this action, you remove the layout on the Custom layer on the current line. The layout is deleted from the server also. See also the section “Layers” in the introduction to this workspace.
