Searching for a Layout

You search for layouts in two places:

• On the Layout tab

• On the Content tab, when you select the variable of the smart grid . Click the pencil icon. The Select Layout dialog box appears, where you can also search for layouts.

The layouts displayed on the Layout tab are determined by the Show only fitting layouts checkbox:

• Checkbox is deactivated: all of the layouts that are valid for the template are displayed.

• Checkbox is activated: if a Smart Grid is also selected at the same time, all of the layouts that are suitable for this Smart Grid are displayed. If no Smart Grid is selected, all of the layouts that are suitable for at least one of the existing Smart Grids are displayed.

If you want to add a layout to a static or dynamic Smart Grid, the following conditions apply:

• Static Smart Grid: the layout must be the same size ± 1 mm.

• Dynamic Smart Grid: the layout must fit fully into the grid when it is added in the top left corner.

If a very large number of layouts are displayed, you can further restrict the selection by entering a keyword in the search line on the Layout tab. If you then perform the search, only matching layouts that contain the keyword in their properties (for example, in their name) are displayed:

If you cannot find a suitable layout, you can deactivate the Show only fitting layouts checkbox. All the layouts are then displayed. Note that you cannot add layouts whose dimensions do not fit into the grid. However, you can adapt the size of dynamic grids and then choose a different layout.

Naturally, you can also deactivate the Show only fitting layouts checkbox and perform a search. In this case, you search through all the available layouts whose properties contain the keyword.
