The Layout Customization Tool (LCT) is an XML editor built into the system that lets an administrator design the layout of XML templates. The tool requires knowledge of XML and system internal structures.

 

To get to the LCT, click Customize Layout XML File under Settings/System Settings. The layout customization page appears. Select the layout type from the menu.

 

To upload a new report file, enter the file name in the Upload XML File text box and select Upload.

 

To create or modify an existing template, select the file from the Existing XML files menu and select Edit. If you intend to preserve the existing version, first export the XML file, rename it, and upload it before making changes.

 

Template files propagate to other servers, although their assignment to specific user accounts does not. For complete instructions on constructing a template, refer to the Layout Customization Manual.
