Layouts

You can customize the appearance of the assistants (for example by adding columns, removing columns, rearranging columns, and resizing columns).

You can also group on the values of one or more columns, sort on the values of a column, or add a filter criterion that limits the data that you want to appear in the assistant.

You can then save your customizations as a layout.

The following types of layouts are used in the People Planner Web Components:

• Default (Standard) Layout: The normal look and content of a grid-type display that is created automatically.
• Shared Layout: A layout that an administrator creates (based on a default layout) and makes available to other users. A shared layout can be made available to all users, or only to users who have a certain role.
• Personal Layout: A personalized version of a display. When you load a standard or shared layout, a personal version is automatically created; you can then modify itfor example, adding or removing columns, grouping rows based on the value of a column, and so on.

You can find a list of the layouts to which you have access by clicking the drop-down arrow for the Layout Selector.

Note: This menu is only available if you have more than a single layout to choose from.

If you have the Edit Web Page Layout privilege—typically given to administrators—you can perform additional tasks related to layouts. See Manage Shared Layouts: Administrator Tasks for more information.
