A layout helps to define how screen items are displayed to an end user. A layout allows you to choose how specific fields, tabs and actions statuses must be displayed. A BO or a UDBO can have one or more layouts. The Planon provided layout for a BO is called a base layout. If a default layout does not exist for a BO or UDBO, it will use the base layout.

Layouts are managed in Layouts, which enables you to configure the display and description of tabs. There are two types of layouts, base and a user-defined layout. A base layout contains more specific properties and makes it possible to filter on a field when saved.
