The default table layout

You can configure the required table layout (such as the order of columns and the set of columns to be displayed) and set this configuration as the new default layout, while logged in to a user account that has the Administrator role.

After you have set the new default layout for a particular table, the system applies this layout to the following users:

• All new users added to the system after you set the default layout
• All existing users who haven't changed the default layout

If users have personalised layouts of a particular table, you can override their table settings with these default settings.

To specify the default settings of a table or tables in a particular window, you do the following:

1. You navigate to the window and configure the appropriate layout of the table or tables in the window.
2. On the window title bar, in the appearance, you click Tools >Share column configuration.
   The Share column configuration dialog box opens.
   
3. In the dialog box, you do the following:
   1. On Page 1, you select the table or the tables for which you want to specify default settings.
   2. On Page 2, you select the Set as the default check box.
   3. While you are still on Page 2, for users who have set up their own column configurations for the table or tables, if you want to replace their table layouts with the configuration you have set as the default in the previous substep, you select the Override users' personal configurations check box.

If you have already set up a default configuration for one table or multiple tables in a window and want to change this default configuration, you do the following:

1. You navigate to the window, and while viewing the table for which you want to change the default layout, you click to bring up the Column configuration dialog box.
2. In the bottom of the dialog box, you click Delete default configuration.
3. You configure the new table layout.
4. You set this layout as the default layout.

If particular users have specific requirements for the table layout in a window, you can set up the required configuration while logged in to a user account that has the Administrator role, and you can then apply this configuration to these users only.

These users will see this table configuration when they navigate to the window, but other users will not.
Users can change this default table configuration at any time.

To configure the layout of a table or multiple tables on a form for particular users, you do the following:

1. You navigate to the window and configure the layout required by users of the table or tables in the window.
2. On the window title bar, you click Tools > Share column configuration.
   The Share column configuration dialog box is opened.
   
3. In the dialog box, you do the following:
   1. On Page 1, you select the table or tables you have configured.
   2. On Page 2, you clear the Set as the default check box.
   3. In the Users table of Page 2, you select the users to which you want to apply the table layout.
      If these users are all assigned a particular role, in the User role field, you can select this role to filter the list of users in the list and then select the needed users.
