Layout Profiles

You can assign a special layout profile to folders. This gives a folder its own layout. If you navigate to this folder in the folder hierarchy, the layout changes within the iView.

• A layout profile references a layout set .
• The default layout profile references a single layout profile.

Users can select a layout profile in the settings for a folder. There is an overview of available layout profiles in the Details dialog boxes of folders at Settings → Presentation. If specified, a thumbnail view is displayed for the layout profile.

The graphic below shows the structure of the selection window for layout profiles:

As well as the overview of available layout profiles, the selection window contains a selection box for the system default and a selection box for layout sets. The selection box for the system default is used to activate the default layout profile or the default settings for the folder. The selection box for layout sets allows administrators or users with the service permission Layout to select a layout set from a list. For more information, see Defining the Display of Folders .
