Manage layouts in a ViewApp

You select one or more layouts with the ViewApp Initialization wizard the first time you open the ViewApp Editor. Thereafter, the ViewApp editor shows the layouts you selected. You can edit the current selected layout or remove it within the ViewApp Editor by selecting options from the Layout menu button.

If you select Edit Layout, the Layout Editor opens with the current layout shown in the Layout Editor selected for editing. You can make changes to the layout and save it. The Layout Editor closes and returns you to the System Platform IDE.

If you select Remove Layout, the layout for the selected screen in the ViewApp Editor is removed. The thumbnail of the layout you removed no longer appears within the selected screen and you see a message that no layout is assigned to the screen. Also, the thumbnail of the layout shown in the ViewApp Editor indicates that it is empty.

You can also change layouts by selecting another layout from the Layout field with the ViewApp Editor. Clicking the arrow in the Layout field shows a pop-up menu of all layouts defined in the Galaxy.

Select another layout from the list to replace the current or deleted layout with the one you selected. The selected screen and the layout thumbnail are updated with the layout you selected.
