The Layout settings can be configured by clicking the
Manage Layout icon (
) to open the Layout Manager dialog box.
Name: This drop-down shows four Layout commands, New, Rename, Save As and Delete, as well as the layouts that have been saved to the current project. The drop-down displays the currently selected layout.
New: Opens the Add Layout dialog box described above.
Rename: Opens the Rename Layout dialog box where you can enter a new name.
Save As: Opens a Save As dialog box that will take the settings for the selected layout, along with any changes you have made in the Layout Manager dialog and create a new layout with the specified name.
Delete: Removes the selected layout from the current project.
Update: The Update button updates the currently selected layout with specified changes.
Delete: The Delete button removes the selected layout from the current project.
Display: The Display column allows you to specify, for each Forecast Pro view, if you want the selected layout to save display and/or settings configurations for the selected view. Display settings include view window status (open, closed etc.) and view location, while settings include anything that is specified in the view’s Setting dialog box. Display is checked for all views that should be shown in the layout. If a view has Settings checked but not Display, Forecast Pro will load the settings as specified in the layout but not open the view window. This may be useful if you want to export reports with saved settings, but you do not want to view the Report in Forecast Pro.
Include hot list: Check this if you want the layout to save hot list items, so that when the layout is selected the hot list displays those saved items.
Include selected item: Check this if you want the layout to associate the item selected on the Navigator with the layout.
Include navigator layout: Check this if you want the layout to save the Navigator layout (e.g. which nodes are open) and update the Navigator when you select the layout.
Layouts may be removed and refreshed directly from the
Home tab using the remove layout icon (
). Clicking on the Remove icon
opens the Remove Layout dialog box. Simply select the layout you want to remove
and click OK to remove a layout from the Layouts drop-down and the current project.
Layouts may also be updated directly from the Home
tab with the Update icon (
). Click the Update icon to
launch the Update Layout dialog box. Selecting a layout in the dialog box and
clicking OK will replace the selected layout with the current Forecast Pro view
and settings.
