What a user layout is

A user layout is the saved column arrangement for one list. Use this page when you need to parse, compare, or maintain that arrangement. It sits between the User layouts list, where you find a layout, and Default layouts, whose columns provide the comparison layout.

Review the opened layout's fields and optionsContinue to Understand the edit surface below
Compare the user layout with the configured defaultDefault layouts

Before you start

Open User layouts and identify the layout record you want to maintain.

The page loads an existing layout when the ID is non-zero. With no ID or a zero ID, it resets the layout model. If the layout has changes, leaving the page opens a confirmation flow; if it has no changes, the page leaves directly.

Find and open the layout

Open the saved list arrangement before changing its text or columns.

Prerequisites

  • You know the layout record ID.

Steps

  1. Open User layouts.
  2. Open the layout record you want to maintain.
  3. Select Recall to load the layout and its default comparison.

The selected record opens for editing.

Result: The edit page opens at the layout route and shows the layout fields and the two parsed areas when their column data is available.

Understand the edit surface

The edit surface has record details, editable layout text, parsed layout areas, and a column editor that opens from a populated parsed layout.

A layout text is the saved representation that the page parses into columns and serializes back after changes.

Prerequisites

  • The edit page is open.
  • You have a layout record to maintain.

Steps

  1. Select Recall to load the user layout and its default comparison.

  2. Review Layout for the saved layout text.

  3. Select Parse to turn the layout text into the parsed user layout.

    Save the layout and leave the pageSave and CloseThe layout is validated, saved, and the page closes

Result: The layout is saved, the parsed layout is refreshed, and the page shows Your request was completed successfully. Save and Close also leaves the page.

Maintain layout columns

A layout column defines one list column's position, field, type, visibility, caption, width, and filter behavior.

Prerequisites

  • The parsed user layout has columns.

  2. In the column editor, review Index, Visible, Field, Type, Caption, Width, Filter value, and Selected filter operation.

  3. Choose the column change you need:

    Leave an exit or task-completion confirmation without savingSelect Don't Save
    Close an applicable confirmation without confirmingSelect Cancel
  4. If you chose to remove a column, select Yes to confirm the removal.

    The column is removed from the parsed layout.

  5. Select Save on the edit page to save the changed layout.

Result: The parsed layout contains the column changes you kept, and the edit page is ready for the save result.
