You can save the layout variants as user-related or for general use. Saving has the following advantages:
You can save special settings for different operations. Choosing the layout variant ensures that the document list contains the correct document information for the current task, for example, using filter values or sort settings.
For recurring operations you can save a layout variant, and save it as a presetting . This allows the contents of the document list to be tailored quickly and easily for a recurring task.
When you save a layout variant, you can determine its use dependent of your authorization profile:
Property |
Use |
User-specific |
Only the user who has saved the layout variant can use it. |
Cross-user |
All users can use the layout variants. |
Authorization Checks
