Save Layout as
 
Use this window to save your current Layout in one of your Databases.  Depending on your access rights, you may store the Layout in your Local, Company, or Global database.  In general, you may pick any name you like for the Layout, but be aware of the following:
 
When PIM Control connects to a database, a Layout is automatically selected using the following naming convention:
 
  • If the Local database contains a Layout with the same name as the Company database, that Layout is used.
  • Otherwise, if the Local database contains a Layout named "Default", that Layout is used.
  • Otherwise, if the Company database contains a Layout named "Default", that Layout is used.
  • Otherwise, if the Global database contains a Layout named "Default", that Layout is used.
  • Otherwise, a built-in default Layout is used.
 
These rules make it possible for each Company database to have it's own default Layout, and for each user to have their own custom Layouts for each database they use.
