Distribute Customised Table Layouts

Individual users can customise and save their own table layouts. This process is described in Save Layout in Integrator Controls. As an administrator you may decide to create a set of project standard table layouts for all users on the project.

Table layouts are stored in a set of files in the user's Local Settings Application Data folder for the particular project. Column definitions are stored in a preferences file, for example:

C:\Users\john.smith\AppData\Local\Aveva\Model Management\Project Settings\APS\Preferences.xml

Layout configuration is stored in a file named after the layout in the TableLayouts folder. For example a layout named Motors would be:

C:\Users\john.smith\AppData\Local\Aveva\Model Management\Project Settings\APS\TableLayouts\Motors

An administrator who has created a set of layouts in their own area can copy the Preferences file and the TableLayouts folder to the Project Defaults Model Management folder. For example on the SAM project this would be

%APSDFLTS%\ModelManagement\

Saved table layouts are checked only at the start of a user's session. An updated set of layouts copied to the project folder will not be seen by users until their next session.

If a user creates a layout with the same name as a project layout, then the user's layout will be used.
