A layout defines the display of an opened instance. The layout needs to be defined for each concept.
Use layout elements
When defining a layout, these elements can be added:
- Tab: As the name suggests, it creates a new tab for the instance. Each tab can have multiple sections and fields.
- Section: this divides a tab into multiple areas based on the need or configuration. Each section contains a heading, which is followed by the components defined through fields.
- Column: this allows arranging the components, such as tables or charts, parallel to each other.
Define filters
In addition, filters can be defined in order to display or edit a part of the layout only when the filter conditions are met.
