Data Editor - Layouts

The Data Editor allows you to specify which fields to show and their order for main and related tables. You customize and display data in the Data Editor as appropriate to your workflow, and save these settings as Layouts.

It is possible to create several layouts for each table to show, for example, different aspects of data.

Also one layout can be used in multiple databases with the same structure. This helps, for example, to work in development/test/production environments using the same set of layouts.

The current layout is shown in the top-right corner of the Data Editor in the combo box:

Layout menu, shown on click on this combo box, allows to switch the layout or perform various actions on layouts:

This menu consists of three sections:
