A layout is a saved set of grid columns — which ones are shown, in what order, and how
wide. This dialog is where you switch the grid from one to another.
A single picker, a way through to Manage Layouts, and Select or Cancel.
Where to find it
Select Grid Layout on the toolbar of Listings,
Listing Templates or Sales.
What is in the dialog
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Select Layout | The layouts saved for this grid, by name. It can be cleared, which takes the grid back to its default columns. |
| Manage Layouts | Opens Manage Layouts, where layouts are created, edited, renamed and deleted. Come back here to apply one. |
| Select | Applies the chosen layout to the grid. Disabled until you choose one. |
| Cancel | Closes without changing anything. |
Layouts belong to a view. A layout built for Listings does not appear on Sales — the two
grids hold different things, so their columns are different. Each view has its own set.

Why the layout matters beyond appearance
- Exporting. With Export data only for Columns in Current View on, the layout
decides what an export contains — see Export to CSV. - Sorting. Only a column you can see can be sorted by clicking its heading. For anything
else use Select Sort Parameters. - Speed. A layout with far fewer columns draws faster on a large grid.
FAQ

A: Nothing is chosen yet. Pick a layout from the list.
Q: My export is missing columns I can see on screen.
A: Check Export to CSV. Compatibilities

the layout when exporting by current view.
