Notes on the maintenance of administrator-defined layouts

Note the following general instructions for maintaining layouts under option C.3:

Type

The layouts delivered by Beta Systems are of the type BETA. You cannot change the structure of these layouts. You can, however, take these layouts as a template for your own layouts (type: CUST).

Language

If you customize existing layouts or create new layouts, you should carry out these changes for all languages which are used by the users of your system. Layouts for languages which are not used in your system need not be customized.

Number

The number determines the sequence of the layouts while scrolling. The following must be unique:

The combination of Number and Language

The combination of Number and Layout Name

The application saves the position of the last active layout in the user-profile at the end of the session. If you subsequently insert a new layout definition, you should use higher numbers for the layout.

Delete

Only inactive layout definitions can be deleted.

Activate

Only the active layouts of the current language are available under option 1 (maximum 10).

If more administrator-defined layouts are active for a language, only the first 10 are used.
